![]() So what about the complexity of the exam? Well, I haven’t actually seen any more the exam other than what I mentioned we were briefly shown, so I can’t speak to the complexity of the exam questions themselves other than from the formatting I just discussed in the prior paragraph however, I will say that I did NOT find the ‘content’ of today’s course ‘all that advanced’. Unfortunately for test takers, each of the 33 questions must be answered completely correct in all of their parts there will be no partial credit for individual parts, only the question as a whole. Some will require analysis of downloaded data and posting in the QBO sample file in order to ascertain the correct answers. Many may have 4 or 5 parts that must be completed for each question ‘scenario’ posed. But in the few examples of test questions we were briefly shown, the questions are very complex. This new exam is much more than the ‘how to’ multiple choice exam associated with QBO Certification this exam is built upon real world case scenarios. Those passing the QBO-Advanced ProAdvisor exam will be certified for two years a final decision regarding the mechanism for re-certification has not yet been announced. Module 5 – Advisory Services will be responsible for 7 questions. Module 3 – Special Transactions will be the source of five questions on the exam, and seven questions will be taken from Module 4 – Reporting and Complex Problem Solving. Seven questions will come from Module 1 – Complex Conversions and seven questions will come from Module 2 – Customization. There is no time requirement related to the exam, and candidates may save and exit the exam as many times as they wish. Candidates will have 4 attempts to pass each module of the exam. The exam is 33 questions, and will require a passing score of 80% on each of 5 ‘exam modules’. With that behind us let’s look at the basics of the QBO-Adv. A person who passed the QBO Certification on one day could realistically sit for the QBO-Advanced exam the very next day there is NO minimum time requirement between QBO and QBO-Adv. Desktop advanced certification requires the certification in the most current 3 years of QuickBooks ‘basic’ in order to even qualify to take the advanced exam. Some voiced their concerns over the fact that unlike the ‘desktop advanced’ certification, the process to gain QBO-Advanced is much shorter. Intuit will offer training in preparation for the exam, I think you can expect some live Webinars as well as some Pre-recorded sessions, along with study materials.Ī lot of the ProAdvisors participating in Michelle’s class had both ‘desktop’ and ‘QBO’ ProAdvisor certifications already, and many even had ‘desktop’ “Advanced ProAdvisor” status. With those two requirements in place you qualify to take the QBO-Advanced Exam. You must also have ‘passed’ the QuickBooks Online Certification (which I assume most people will call ‘basic’ QBO Certification from now on). ![]() If you read my article published on Tuesday 10/21 you know that Intuit is merging these two programs into one starting in December, so ProAdvisor membership is the key point here. ![]() ![]() To qualify for the exam you must be a member of the QuickBooks ProAdvisor or QuickBooks Cloud ProAdvisor program. Well I can finally share with you some of those details having participated in the inaugural Certification Preparation Course for QuickBooks Online Advanced Certification instructed by Michelle Long, here at QuickBooks Connect. We have speculated as to the requirements for the exam and what type of exam it might be and to some extent the potential difficulty. All my regular readers know that I have written two previous articles about the New QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor Exam since it was first announced just a few months ago. ![]()
