    Hi all,

    Question 1
    Is SBL difficult comparing to other strategic professional level exams? Or the “only difference” is the length of the exam?

    I am planning to sit SBL exam soon and I started looking into different study options.

    Is it enough to self study or online classroom (i.e. watching recorded videos without live interaction with the tutor)? Or is it better to enroll to Live Online classes or maybe even the actual classroom face-to-face classes?

    Question 2
    Also, I’ve passed almost all my papers by studying through BPP Online classroom (pre-recorded videos). But I find BPP a little bit corporate. I looked online and found few names, like: HTFT, The ExP Group, Avado. Have any of you studied with them before or heard anything about them? Any recommendations, criticisms?

    Thank you in advance for your answers.

    I found this exam studying the quite difficult so far. At professional level, I think all exams are difficult depending on what you are best at.

    For example, p2 exam (now SBR) was more difficult than the AAA exam for me, as I am more familiar with Auditing. If you are in an entrepreneurship environment or you are a business leader, you may find SBL easier than other exams

    Hi,

    I was also hesitant about the path to follow with regard to studying SBL.

    I eventually decided to enroll for live face-to-face classes with MALVERN HOUSE LONDON, since they offered a really interesting “early bird” discount

    So far, I haven’t get any feedbacks as regards tuitions quality. However, the staff seems really serious, nice and professional. Hopefully, this will be the case with the instructor.
