📖 Course Overview

Every business runs on records - and Nepal's formalising economy needs people who keep them properly: shops, startups, NGOs and cooperatives all hire for this exact skill. This program teaches practical bookkeeping from first receipt to financial statements, with Nepali VAT, PAN and audit realities throughout.

Accounting is learned by doing entries. Every lesson's exercise uses pen, paper or a simple spreadsheet - the concepts transfer directly to Tally and every software.

The program is organised into five modules of eight focused lessons each. Every lesson teaches one topic with a practical example and carries its own exam question. Complete all 40 lessons to unlock the final exam - 20 randomised questions from the full 40-question bank, 30 minutes, 65% to pass - and earn a publicly verifiable certificate.
