The MYOB Partner Program offers certification through tailored education in MYOB Academy. These are available for free, exclusively for Partners in the program.
Our certifications are designed to educate Partners of all levels and abilities. They keep you up to date with MYOB software and workflows so you can manage clients more efficiently, providing assurance that everyone who gets certified will have consistent MYOB knowledge and competency.
After completing a certification, you'll get a digital badge for your professional profile and points for your practice.
Most professional bodies consider the time spent on learning in MYOB Academy as a part of your unverifiable CPD quota. However, this can vary, so check with your professional body.

Certification for individuals
Only one participating staff member needs to complete each certification to earn the maximum number of points for the practice. The certifications are built to support accountants and bookkeepers to have more confidence and skill to service business clients using MYOB software.
Certification for practices
To earn Certified Practice recognition, your practice needs to complete these three courses:
MYOB Business Certification
MYOB Business Payroll Certification
MYOB Practice Compliance Certification.
The three courses can be completed by one or more staff members. For example, three staff members can complete one certification course each.
