Hi
Recently enrolled for Certificate level. Please could you guide the best order to study? Which one to choose first or which one’s best to start with? I am studying after 15 years. Any tips or help is much appreciated.
Hi sorry for the delay – this forum is intended for specific & technical queries. Your post would be better shared with the Open Tuition community where tutors and other students will be able to give their opinion on the best order of study.
My personal opinion is that you should choose the subject that you like the look of most (select the one that you think you will be strongest at / and find most interesting from the four options)
Economics BA1
Management accounting BA2
financial accounting BA3
Law BA4
This will boost your confidence because you’ll be studying according to personal preference.
Many Thanks
I would start with BA1 – there are several elements introduced in BA1 that are revisited for BA2 and BA4, therefore easier to start there in my opinion.
You can however, do it in any order.
I started with BA1, then BA4 now plan to do BA2 and then BA3
I also chose to do it this way around, as it looks as through there is quite a bit of overlap between BA2/3 and the syllabus in the operational level certificate exams, and so thought I would do them last to keep the knowledge fresh.
Thanks for your help guys – closing this thread because this is the tutor page for technical questions- general study conversations between students are better posted onto the students forum of Open Tuition – hope thats ok…
Many thanks
Cath
