The course was excellent. It was thorough, and the instructor covered all the areas that are essential in the daily life of an accountant. I really appreciate the patience that the instructor has. I would definitely recommend the course to others.

The course has potential, but right now it feels quite outdated. The Xero interface has changed significantly — some buttons have been moved, the visual layout is different, and that creates confusion during learning. The videos haven’t been updated, and since the course still generates income, it would make sense to keep it current. Xero doesn’t update its interface very often, so re-recording the lessons would be a reasonable and worthwhile investment. I also didn’t like the overall learning approach. There’s no clear structure — everything is presented in fragments. Instead of using the demo version of Xero (which is more suitable for YouTube), it would be much better to use a real example of a small company. For instance, take a simple product or service-based business and go through the full setup step by step — with settings, chart of accounts, contacts, and reports. Right now, many things are mentioned briefly, and some important fields and sections are skipped, which makes the course feel incomplete and unpolished. That said, there is one strong positive — your English is excellent. Your speech is calm, clear, and easy to follow. That’s rare to find — many other instructors have strong accents or speak too fast, making it hard to understand. For that, I truly appreciate your effort. If the course is updated and restructured around a real-world example with all steps shown in order, I’ll be happy to change my rating to 5 stars. This isn’t the first course I’ve bought and completed — I know you can do better!
