Many people have learnt bookkeeping at some point – during an apprenticeship, at university, on a further training course or in their day-to-day working lives. Then a few years go by, and at some point the question arises: How much of it is actually left?
This is particularly important if you’re about to start a DATEV course or take your first practical steps in bookkeeping. After all, DATEV can save you a lot of work – deciding, what must be booked and why, but in the end it’s still down to people.
We have developed a short online placement test to help you assess your Test your own knowledge of bookkeeping can.
The questions are based on the fundamentals of Financial Accounting 1 and 2 and cover, amongst other things, journal entries, accounts, VAT and typical business transactions.
You may use your own notes and take as much time as you need to complete the task. We are not looking to test your ability to recall information by heart. What matters is whether you understand the concepts and can correctly classify typical accounting situations.
Before you begin, please take a moment to enter your name and contact details. You will then be taken directly to our placement test on the Moodle learning platform.
The test can carried out once will be and has no time limit. Once you have completed the course, you will receive a report and an assessment as to whether your theoretical knowledge already provides a sound basis for practical work, or whether it would be advisable to refresh your knowledge beforehand.
If you’d like, we can then go through the results with you and discuss the best way forward for you.
Perhaps the result is better than you think. And if your debits and credits have gathered a bit of dust in the meantime, at least you’ll know pretty much exactly, where the feather duster needs to be used.
