Product Specifics

Why are these tutorials better than others?

Our tutorials were created by software training professionals, using the knowledge and expertise gained from years of classroom training. You won't get the static displays or poor sound quality you see with other trainings. Instead, you'll be guided through an animated tour of every lesson, showing you how to perform each function. The menu and easy-to-use interface allow you to quickly find the topics you want to customize your training to fit your needs. Our instruction e-manuals (in PDF) further assist your training by providing additional instruction, as well as step-by-step practice exercises to simulate the classroom-learning environment. Watch and listen as the instructor demonstrates a function, then refer to the exercises in the manual to get hands-on practice in your software.

What versions of the software are covered on the tutorials?

Many of our products cover multiple versions. The products are "backwards compatible" -
meaning that they cover recent as well as earlier versions. When there are differences
in functionality, it is demonstrated within the same lesson or in an entirely different
lesson. This makes our products as flexible as possible for offices with PCs on different versions or for people who upgrade. Please refer to the specific auction or store listing to determine the versions that are covered.

Our tutorials run on both PC and Macintosh. The version of software taught is the PC version. Because the majority of the training is menu-driven, most of the material will be the same. However, there are some differences between PC and MAC versions of the software. We encourage you to view the sample lesson (link at the top of this page) to gauge the differences and determine if the training suits your needs.

Founded in 2001, TeachUcomp, Inc. began as a licensed software training center, with headquarters in Holt, Michigan. Providing instructor-led, classroom-style instruction in over 85 different classes, including Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, Peachtree and web design, teaching staff at organizations such as the American Red Cross, Public School Systems and the Small Business Association.

At TeachUcomp, Inc., we realize that small business software can be confusing, to say the least. However, finding quality training can be a challenge. TeachUcomp, Inc. has changed all that. As the industry leader in training small business software, TeachUcomp, Inc. has revolutionized computer training and will teach you the skills to become a powerful and proficient user.

In 2002, responding to the demand for high-quality training materials that provide more flexibility than classroom training, TeachUcomp, Inc. launched our first product - Mastering QuickBooks Made Easy. The enormous success of our first tutorial led to an ever-expanding product line. TeachUcomp, Inc. now proudly serves customers in over 60 different countries world-wide including individuals, small businesses, non-profits and many others. Clients include the Transportation Security Administration, NASA, Smithsonian Institution, University of Michigan, Merrill Lynch, Sprint, U.S. Army, Oracle Corporation, Hewlett-Packard and the U.S. Senate.

Our full-time staff of software training professionals have developed a product line that is the perfect solution for busy individuals. Our comprehensive tutorials cover all of the same material as our classroom trainings. Broken into individual lessons, you can target your training to meet your needs - choosing just the lessons you want (and having the option to watch them all if you like). Our tutorials are also incredibly easy to use. It's as easy as using the Internet.

You will listen and watch as our expert instructors walk you through each lesson step-by-step. Our tutorials also feature the same instruction manuals (in PDF) that our classroom students receive - and include practice exercises and keyboard shortcuts. Everything in the tutorials is presented in full-motion animation - not sequential still screens. You will see each function performed just as if the instructor were at your computer. After the lesson has finished, you then "toggle" into the application and practice what you've learned - making it the most effective interactive training solution to learn on your own.

You are a just click away from discovering the true power and potential of your software.
