Online Accounting Learning- a Way of Learning That is as Innovative as an Entrepreneur

Take the risk, learn online. In today’s fast-paced world, every single thing in our lives is dictated by technology and the need for speed. It is often said that we are living in the push-button world of the 3 L’s-learning, license, and leisure. So in attempting to adapt to this push-button world, it has become imperative that even our learning should be done exclusively online. In the last few months, how many people have you heard say that they do indeed take accounting lessons online? Many university students assert that pursuing an accounting degree online means going in the right direction. In fact, accounting students say the traditional brick and mortar style of learning accounting at a university is overly time-consuming and unnecessary. So if accounting students have taken to studying online, why can’t high school students have accounting tutorial lessons online as well? If you do require the added accounting help because perhaps you are looking to improve your report mark, you can seek an online accounting tutor to help you. As a Grade 11 student, finding your own mistakes in your general ledger may seem like looking for a needle in a haystack. That is where an online accounting tutor can come in handy. Your tutor will guide you on where exactly you went wrong, whilst providing advice on how to avoid making the same error in the future. These online classes can happen at a time that is most convenient for you and your tutor. As opposed to sitting and wrecking your brains trying to solve accounting equations, you can opt for an immediate online lesson. The online platform has made it easier to even have a quick refresher lesson the night before a big exam.

Motivation Is What Allows Entrepreneurs to Thrive                                                           

So why is learning accounting at a school level so important? Well, for one, studying accounting at school means possibly becoming an accountant after school. Yes, being an accountant could literally get you employment anywhere-in any business, and in any country. With a B.Com accounting degree in the palm of your hand, you could work in the banking sector, educational field, medical field, or even work as an independent financial adviser. Without sounding too clichéd, the sky surely is the limit for an accountant. As for university accounting students, many are too opting for online accounting courses which they see as a much easier option in today’s modern world than undertaking the proverbial university route. Post matric students are starting off their accountancy journey by completing basic short courses offered through online platforms from some of the most prestigious universities in South Africa. The short courses are but a tip of the iceberg, teaching students aspects of the accounting process. Within a two week time period, a module is complete with students having gained a solid understanding of the cash flow statement, and being able to distinguish between money coming in and going out of the business. The short courses allow students to leap a step further, and pursue the online accounting degree route. While you are still at school, you can ensure that you perfect your understanding of income statements and balance sheets. This way when you are meant to take beginner's online accounting courses post-school at the Milpark Education Institute or at any other institution in South Africa, you need not work hard at the beginner’s level. Excelling and understanding school accounting can only lead to success later on in life. 

Motivation Will Allow You to Excel at Accounting in School     

Surely, there are advantages to scheduling your accounting classes online. For one you are able to schedule your classes anywhere, anytime, and any day. Taking a holiday to Durban need not mean missing out on a lesson with your online accounting tutor. Having a cup of coffee at your local Mugg and Bean while listening to your tutor as he or she discusses the creditors' control journal is another possibility. There is no need to neither travel to your tutor nor have to host your tutor. You can simply meet your tutor online. The online tutorial option works especially well for reserved students. Being behind the computer screen tends to make you more willing to ask certain questions that you wouldn’t necessarily ask if a tutor was physically in front of you. An online tutor may work well for you simply because your interaction is virtually based.

Self-Discipline Leads to Passing Accounting 

While having an online accounting tutor means learning in a fun new way, without being confined to the four walls of the classroom, learning online requires a great amount of self-discipline. Schedule weekly meetings with your online accounting tutor and stick to them. Avoid postponing too many classes. Indulge in research yourself. Use resources like Khan Academy to give you more information on the subject. Bring new accounting concepts and tricks that you have learnt through your own research to your online session. Look for books on the subject online so that you can learn more concepts and try out other examples on your own after your class. Try online meetings with your friends so that you can complete your accounting homework together.
