Misleading

Universal Accounting does teach you the bare basics of accounting. I am an accountant of 30 years. They teach you debits and credits that is all. They don't teach payroll taxes that is another course and costs thousands more.
Also do not take their QuickBooks course. You can get the same thing with more creditiblity through Intuit and become a QuickBooks pro advisor on top of it. it is less money and more clout.
Universal Accounting is great if you are already a bookkeeper and want to go out on your own. They give you great marketing tips to market yourself. For this cost though, I would just go to the nearest city college and pay a fraction of what they are offering. There are certification programs at the nearest community college and you can put "C.B" behind your name after 6 months of schooling for a whole lot less money than Universal Accounting wants to charge.

Forcible selling

This company sells a bookkeeping program and claims to have an ironclad guarantee return policy. When I tried to return the program to them they threatened to return it back to me and charge me for the shipping. I am trying to return the books unopened and sealed. They are telling me that I have to complete the course and then return it and they will look over the material that I have completed and then decide if I can return it. I told them I no longer have a job and I cannot pay for this program. I looked over the materials and I am not happy with the product. They basically told me that I had to continue to pay them and I have to purchase their product no matter what. I think anyone thinking of doing business with them should think twice about it. I feel their company is running a scam to sell you books and DVD's of very poor quality for a ridiculous amount of money. They tell you that if you are unhappy for any reason just send back the materials for a full refund. This is a lie!
