Once at the home page look for "skills by job/role".  Type in "bookkeeper".  Their version of Quickbooks is not a recent version of QB but the other tutorials/tests seem good.  The interesting thing about Brainbench is they offer their own certifications that employers respect.

*Intuit - Intuit is the developer of Quickbooks and Quicken.  They have an in-dept training program for both products. They also have a training class on mastering accounting basics.
