Accounting I and II - Saylor AND Straighterline??

[Kones]

I had planned to take Accounting I and II thru Straighterline. However, I am waiting to see if my job will approve tuition reimbursement for Straighterline... plus I haven't even ordered the text books yet. Rather than waste time waiting around to start I was wondering if I should begin by reviewing the free materials at Saylor. Does anyone have any feedback? Would combining Saylor and Straighterline eventually lead me to be confused? Or should the materials be close enough that I can get a head start and just sign up for Straighterline once I get my approval and books?

You would be wasting your time with Saylor because Straighterline courses pull straight from the textbook.

I would start with Saylor, because you can learn the concepts. Since Financial Accounting is taken from governmental regulations (GAAP), it's pretty much taught the same way everywhere. Some minor differences, I'm sure, but not enough to worry about. Learning about debits and credits, assets, balance sheets, etc. is the same no matter where you learn it.
