Why can't I access this training?

I am a QBO Pro Advisor and want to get QBD certified, but my ProAdvisor account doesn't show any trainings available for QBD.

You must have signed-up as a 'free' QBO ProAdvisor

If you joined the ProAdvisor through the 'free' QuickBooks Online route you only have access to QuickBooks Online training and certification. You must change to a paid ProAdvisor membership bundle to obtain access to QuickBooks Desktop. The paid bundles not only include QBO, but also provide you with copies of the Desktop Software. The Premier ProAdvisor Bundle includes QuickBooks Desktop Accountant, the Enterprise ProAdvisor Bundle includes QuickBooks Desktop Accountant, QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant, and QuickBooks Desktop Mac as well as the Desktop training and certification(s).

What's the Deadline for Desktop recertification?

What's the Deadline for Desktop recertification? Is it the same for the QBO recertification, which is 6/30?

June 30 Recertification is only QBO

The June 30, 2023 only applies to QBO (and QBO Advanced) recertification, and only then to certain ProAdvisors who haven't earned the most recent certifications (since November 2022).

Desktop Recertification is related to a totally new product each year, and is available to those ProAdvisors certified in the prior year's product.

Your time frame runs with the availability of recertification for that product year, it's not really a fixed time frame as it was many moons ago.

One Note to Desktop ProAdvisors

If you are thinking about QuickBooks 2023 recertification in regard to Top 100 2024, you need to have your recertification completed by December 31, 2023 because we consider that the 'Top 100 year-end date for prior year certifications.'

On or after January 1, 2024 until whatever date is set for the end for the 'formal application' is what Top 100 considers the then current year, and evaluates current certification availability (if a 2024 certification is available, and if not then 2023) for qualification and ranking purposes.

How do we know the end date associated with the 'availability of recertification'?

Thank you for your reply, but I still do not have clarity on when (a date) by which those of us who qualify to take the 2023 QB Desktop Recertification exam have to to do so. Do you know? How do we find out?

Until the 2024 QBDT Exam is released

For purposes of Desktop Exams, an individual is qualified to take the recertification examination by holding certification in the prior year. Therefore if you fail to get recertified by the date the following year's exam is released, you loose your right to take the recertification and you must take and pass the full certification exam.

Because we have no known 'release date' for the 2024 Exam, I can't give you an exact date; however, the exam is never released before the product is released to the general public.

This year, the 2023 Desktop Exams (full and recert) were added to the ProAdvisor training portal just after mid-January 2023. So it's probably best to always shoot for no later than December 31 of the same year as the exam year (which happens to be the old 'training year' schedule for ProAdvisors to complete their current product year certifications.

But once again, the June 30 2023 Recert date has nothing to do with QBD certification, it only applies to ProAdvisors who 'certified' or 'recertified' in QBO 'Core' or QBO 'Advanced' prior to November 1, 2022.

Information is as has been made available from Intuit source content.
