Questions and answers
Hi , Is each Subject covered by an individual online video to show how to do things or just by online text book learning? Thanks Cheryl
Answer:Hi Cheryl, thank you for your question. At the time of replying there are no accompanying videos with our courses, where each process is explained in detail within the course lessons with comprehensive worked examples and assignments. Of course, there are already thousands of videos available via google, etc, that provide a visual explanation of all accounting processes, should you find this method helpful. If you have further questions, please come back to me. Kind regards Brian McVean
