Hello there, Noel.

No need to be a certified accountant to become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. As long as you complete and pass the ProAdvisor training, then you'll be qualified as one.

To help you get started, you can check this reference about the QuickBooks ProAdvisor program member guide for brand use. (US article but applies to other countries such as India). There are selected countries for international versions that can take the ProAdvisor training.

Here's how:

1. Go to this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/.
2. Scroll down and at the bottom of the page, choose your country from the Select a Country drop-down.
3. Hover your mouse on the Accountants & Bookkeepers tab at the top mid of the page.
4. You'll see ProAdvisor Portal or Training from the drop-down.
5. Under Accountants, choose Training & Certification. 

You can also click on this link to get there: Training Certification.
