MYOB training
 

Hi Guys
Calling all accountants and book keepers!
I am migrating to Brisbane at the end of July.
I'm an accountant and want to do some training in MYOB before I arrive, as that seems to be what all the recruiters are recommending.

I've been told that I need to find training in the 'Premier' version of MYOB but would also like to get some background training in the book keeping/lower end processing versions so that I can pick up more junior temp work and be familiar with the software if need be.

I've tried contacting myob.com who only provide a really basic course and also AccountingCollege.com.au who offer a beginner, intermediate and advanced training package, however I am told that this doesn't include the Premier version and I am getting more than a bit confused!
Also they said that there is some legislation coming in regarding MYOB and book keeping training.

Can anyone tell me please what courses I should be doing and where to go on the net to find the course provider?!

What on earth is "MYOB" training? Also an accountant, never heard of it and certainly not heard I need to do it before I mov e to Australia. :-)

MYOB is accounting software most used over there.
It appears that most employers want you to have experience in it. I'm going to do some online training before I leave!

MYOB = Mind Your Own Business

Only Aussies could come up with a name like that!

Hi,
Since you need to start doing a job as soon as possible it's more advzable to follow a MYOB short course which goes only for about 20 hours. I think it's more than enough since you already have accounting knowlege. Meantime you can download MYOB trial version which is easy to learn. Just do a google search on MYOB short courses. I migrated in Feb and currently studying the trial version. Also planning to do a short course either Monash or Holmeglen. There are many places.All the best.

I feel MYOB is as simple as other Accounting softwares. If you good in accounting and computer ( Basics) just download trail version 100MB+ and get installed in your syetem go ahead with your own training. I am doing the same .

MYOB, Quick Book, Pastel, Attache, Great Plain, Tally, WINGS load of tools but same ledger, TB, P& L, BS is in it

Re: MYOB training
 

MYOB is actually an accounting software used by small companies and is useful to know for new migrants looking for a job, however, it would not be very useful for an experienced accountant who intends to work for an MNC or a large Australian company. In such cases, knowledge of ERP systems like SAP, JD Edwards, Hyperion or Cognos might be more useful.

MYOB is made for people without any accounting qualification. I just downloaded it from the internet when I came here three years ago. It is just too easy no need of attend any course. Again, too easy.
