One of the hardest parts of meeting the registration requirements to become a BAS agent is satisfying the minimum 1400 hours of experience (point 3 above). WiseClick Training have a solution to help our students fulfil this requirement.

Cheryl Knight owner of WiseClick Training has over 15 years of bookkeeping experience and has been a registered BAS agent for over 8 years. One of our strengths is mentoring or students in the ways to navigate the TPB registration requirements and how to gain experience.

As the owner of a successful bookkeeping practice, I highly recommend Wiseclick Training. I am a Wiseclick graduate myself, having completed my course with them in 2009. When I need new bookkeeping staff I also turn to Wiseclick as I know their graduates have been well trained and will be competent bookkeepers.As well as the Cert IV of bookkeeping, Wiseclick offer a broad range of courses in both software packages and Microsoft office packages.Students will complete their courses with excellent well rounded skills. Their ongoing support is also second to none!Evelyn Rosa – previous student and Bookkeeping Practice owner. (May 2017)

Over two weeks one day a week this month I attended Wiseclick Training with Tarryn completing a Getting Started With Xero Accounting Software course. Previous to attending Wiseclick, I had completed a Xero course on-line by myself with another Xero course provider which I thought I was happy with until I attended Wiseclick.As the course for Xero is completed with the Demo company, both courses should have been similar but were not. With small class numbers, Tarryn was a first class presenter in my opinion making time for everyone’s questions together with offering practical advice in getting around in the program.I would like to say thank you to Tarryn and Wiseclick for making me much more comfortable and confident in the use of Xero, I learned such a lot.

Tarryn (Trainer) explains everything that she teaches in simple terms for those of us who haven’t had any experience in bookkeeping. She gives examples of what we’re being taught so we can visualise what she is saying. As she was a student here herself, she totally understands new students. She definitely needs a pay rise!!!

Hi Tarryn,It was lovely to see you today and receive the Outstanding Student Award. It is such an honour and I wouldn’t have been able to complete the course without your constant support and guidance. I can’t thank you enough and the team at Wisecick for helping me achieve this!!After working in administration and human resources for over 10 years I was looking for a change in direction. Returning to work after having my first child I felt needed to increase my Microsoft office and software skills. After looking into a few options I decided a Certificate IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting would be great for my professional development. After researching a few training organisations I choose Wiseclick for its flexibility and classroom style training and it was the best decision I ever made!!The content of the course was exactly what I was looking for, it gave me a thorough understanding of accounting principles and transactions. I got to work with Xero and MYOB for the first time and it refreshed my word and excel skills. The classroom sessions were fantastic, very engaging and gave me a lot of confidence seeing I had little accounting experience when I started. Tarryn Drage is an amazing trainer who explained everything in a simple and methodical manner. The support she gave to her students was phenomenal, she is a true professional and an amazing asset to Wisecick.I was pregnant with my second child during my Cert IV and with her support and guidance I was able to finish the Certificate IV in Bookkeeping before the birth of my child and the Certificate IV in Accounting 6 months after the birth of my child. I was able to achieve this thanks to Tarryn and the Wiseclick team’s continued support. I would highly recommend Wiseclick to anyone who is looking to further their career. They are a fantastic training organisation who provide flexibility and a high level of support to their students.Looking forward to hearing from you and keeping you updated with my personal and professional development!

Today was my first day in my new part time job as a bookkeeper working for an investment company. The company uses Xero and my knowledge of this software that I gained at Wiseclick has already been of benefit to the company. I look forward to the next phase of my journey as a Bookkeeper. Thank you to all the staff at Wiseclick. Your teaching method and patience has been exceptional.Kind regards Agatha BanksAgtha Banks (Dec 2018)
