Description & Overview

This series of 6 recorded Certification courses taken from our July 2024 Virtual Boot Camp.

We've heard from a lot of our new members that they need a more comprehensive training to start them off on the right foot in Pupil Accounting. In response to this request, we've created a 3-day boot camp to give those new to the field a firmer grounding in the basics.

Attendees who complete the Boot Camp will have 6 of the required courses for the Pupil Accounting Specialist completed, and have a great start on their MSBO certification. Each attendee will receive full printouts of all presentations as well as additional references and documentation in a handy reference binder.

Those registered will be able to take the 6 courses in any order at your leisure from mid-August through the end of September.
