Ethics and Professional Skills Module

I took me longer because I was doing it along with other tasks at home and at work.

I was scared after a while that it might tell me to start again because I had gone over double the average time but it seems there’s no time limit.

Every minute I get I try to do it and sometimes forget I’m doing it while the clock is ticking.

I suggest if you’re not able to focus only on it rather than pause the video, close the tab so the clock stops till you log back in

“If I have completed the old Professional Ethics Module do I still need to complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module?”

Short answer – no.

No – see here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/affiliates.html
It is clear that EPSM and PER are things an affiliate must complete in order to become a member.

“If I have completed the old Professional Ethics Module do I still need to complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module?” (Short answer – no, you don’t have to do it again.)

Any student need do only one ethics module – so completion of the old one means you do not need to complete the new one.

@Fleurswan – absolutely – and highly recommended!

When should I complete EPSM?
The module will also support you to exam success at Strategic Professional. We therefore recommend you complete the module TOWARDS THE END of completing your Applied Skills exams and before attempting any Strategic Professional exams.

So no – it is not too early.

@dianalupu – as far as I am aware – no. I think your “myACCA” will show when it is available to you and I don’t think that is yet. Because EPSM supports SP level exams it should be completed when you are at least ELIGIBLE to sit a SP level exam. You are not yet eligible for this because you still have four applies skills exams outstanding.

@ihsanullah – You’ll find some tips if you read through the posts on a relevant thread https://opentuition.com/topic/acca-ethics-and-professional-skills-module-unit-7-unit-8-2

I think you can decide for yourself once you take a look at the module. Depending where you are in your studies and your professional experience you may find the content of a module is a matter of commonsense and something you instinctively know – so no need for notes. I suggest it is worth taking notes for Module 7 – not only because this seems to be the only module that students have difficulty with (many try to skim it too quickly), but because data analytics continues to become increasingly relevant to the Strategic Professional Exam syllabuses.

@shaina – I’m sorry but I’m not clear what it is you are referring to. The assessments at the end of each unit and the final assessment are all automatically marked as MCQs or number-fill type questions. I don’t know why you are writing answers. If you are referring to the peer assessment then in is only the requested slides that are submitted for review and feedback.

Sorry I dont think I was clear. During the module there have been a few questions with a requirement to write an answer and there is a word limit (2000 characters). Will those be marked by a third party? From the top of my head, one was to create a swot analysis and upload. Another was to write a tweet etc.

Thank you!

Hello everyone, i would like to ask to those who have completed the epsm. Can we edit our answers back after we completed the epsm?
