Thomas, I started using GnuCash while I was doing a Masters's degree in Accounting (coursework with minor thesis) somewhere around 2007 when I needed to be able to do exercises in the basic financial accounting subjects to prepare basic balance sheets, income statments for specific case studies. I picked it up pretty quickly (I had had previous experience using MYOB for bookkeeping for my business). Most of the exercises were mainly from Horngren et al's book Financial Accounting (Australian Edition) bute also had a case study for a dummy business set in Australia which came as a booklet with structured set of exercises/problems which built up a set of accounts as the course progressed. It was called "Cafe Sweets " by Rebecca CW Tan andpublished by Pearson in Australia .It wasn't based around GnuCash but MYOBs but I did it all in GnuCash without any problems.
