Alicia explores the completely revamped ProAdvisor Academy, breaking down the new certification paths, training modules, and enhanced features available to QuickBooks ProAdvisors. She provides a detailed walkthrough of the six available certifications, including the new Intuit Bookkeeping certification, and explains how the point system ties into ProAdvisor benefits like premium support and third-party discounts. The episode offers valuable insights into test-taking strategies, certification requirements, and how to leverage the new Learn section to fill knowledge gaps without pursuing full certification.
