ACCA Re-TAkeRS

The ACCA course is very challenging and while nobody likes to be

faced with having to repeat exams, unfortunately a number of students

will find themselves in the position of not having achieved a first time

pass in every exam they attempt. Traditionally these students have

either commenced a course from the beginning, even though the

majority of the information is known to them or else they have waited

until the month before the exam to attend a revision course. The School

of Professional Accountancy at Independent Colleges now offers an

alternative to this where you can join others in a similar situation to

yourself within a couple of weeks of the results coming out and follow

a course of study specifically designed for students who are retaking

the paper.

ACCA COMPuTeR BASeD exAMS (CBes)

The School is delighted to offer its fundamental level students

(F1, F2 and F3) the facility to sit the Computer Based Examination (CBE).

Students will be able to sit these exams in the main college campus on

Dawson Street. CBE dates will be communicated to all the students

in due course. Benefits of Computer Based Exams:

• Flexibility-YouarenotrestrictedtoJuneandDecember

paper-based examination sessions as you can sit CBE at any time

of year. CBE also offers flexibility for re-sits, which you can take at

any time. There is no restriction on the number of times you can

resit the examinations by CBE.

• Instantfeedback-Yourresultisdisplayedonthecomputerscreen
