ACCA - help & advise needed — OpenTuition Forums

Jjini2315y ago

I've just finished my AAT - and want to study further for ACCA. My employers were going to fund me but have changed their decision and now cannot fund my ACCA studies due to the uncertainty of the company.

I can't afford classroom sessions, and wanted to know what best options there are for home study. Or if there are any colleges that offer cheap classroom courses in Manchester.

I'd spoken to ACCA who state I can pass exams with just buying relevant books and doing home study. I know it will be hard, but just have to put all efforts in.

I've missed the June 2011 exam deadline, but want to start studying in preparation for Dec 2011 exams.

Can anyone suggest best ways to go about it and what other options there are. I know I'll be exempt from F1-F3, and will have to pay exemption fees.

Just looking for a best way forward to continue studies, but with limited finance. Is there enough content on the open tuition site to be able to act as a support alongside homestudy?

Hi

I was in a similar position to you two years ago. There are a couple of options, depending on your finances. LSBF do video lectures. Last I checked you could get 3 modules worth for £360. There is a lot of material, however the quality from some of the lecturers isnt the best.

Alternatively you can spend £50 per module buying the studykit and exam kit. This is the cheapest option, but definetily with the early modules you are studying they are straightforward. I recommend doing 2 papers in Dec. F4 and F6, to get a good mix of a numerical module as well as reading module.

the cheapest way is to buy the study kit & exam kit. Any difficulties you may face seek help from this site. watch video lectures that open tuition provides and read the entire study text and attempt the questions.

good luck
