“I am very happy with the facilitator, and the course objective was achieved,” commented Hadijjah binti Haji Dollah.
“I know nothing about accounting before and even though I have my own business, I just write what I sell and record what I get from my business.
“But now, I have learnt more and understand why it is really important to do accounts for business.”
“It is really helpful and I have learnt a lot,” shared Md Safwan bin Mohd Hamri.
“I can definitely apply and implement the concepts and tips for my own business.
“With the use of a board game, it was really fun and easy for us to learn how to do bookkeeping.”
