The Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program has announced that they will be migrating all Certification Training and Examinations to a new platform in March (2018). This migration is part of providing an improved and training and certification experience for ProAdvisor.
The Intuit announcement says that all completed Certification exam and training history WILL migrate over to the new platform, and should NOT be impacted by the platform change.
Unfortunately, progress recorded in the current QuickBooks Certification modules WILL NOT carry over to the new platform. As a result anyone who has started QuickBooks Certification must either:
- Complete the certification(s) and examination(s) by February 28, 2018
OR
- Restart and complete the certifications(s) and examination(s) after the platform is fully migrated. Intuit does not have a 'completion date' (at this time) for the platform migration, but they will provide notification within the QuickBooks Online-Accountant product when the update are completed.
Intuit has indicated that there will be NO changes to the training or exam content for the following certifications (during or as a result of this migration):
- QuickBooks Online Advanced Certification
- QuickBooks Desktop 2017 and 2018 Certifications
- QuickBooks Desktop Advanced Certification
- QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop Certification
- QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop Certification
This migration WILL be concurrent with the release of the NEW QuickBooks Online Certification training and exam. If you are currently taking the QuickBooks Online Certification exam, please note there will be a new and different Certification exam and corresponding training modules in March (2018). (See Insightful Accountant's related story on the new exam here.)
