THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS & THE SUCCESS OF OUR STUDENTS IS........ SIMPLICITY!
Our aim is to simplify the learning process for you and make your course as enjoyable as possible. We beleive that learning should be enjoyed, not endured!
Our team of tutors/authors have extensive teaching and practice experience in Bookkeeping/Accountancy and Payroll Administration. We have transferred our expertise into our Bookkeeping and Payroll Study Texts. Our learning resources are so impressive that other training providers are requesting for them.
Our Study Texts have been approved by the IAB, so you have the assurance that what you receive is of a high standard and that it meets the requirements of the Examiners. We are listed on the IAB website as an official IAB provider of Teaching and Learning resources. www.iab.org.uk
HOME STUDY EXPLAINED
- Home Study is flexible learning that allows you to select the best time to study to suit your own circumstances. It also provides you the flexibility to remain in full-time employment. You can continue to earn while you learn.
- It is easy for you to combine home and work life with distance learning. More than 95% of distance learning students successfully balance full-time work with their studies.
- You can study when and where it suits you best and do not need to attend timetabled lectures or tutorials.
- As a Home Study student, you will be registered as a student and enjoy the same status, privileges, benefits and final award as full-time students.
- You can contact your Personal Tutor as often as you like through emails. There are no additional charges for the support.
- Enrolment can take place any time during the academic year. Examinations are sat when you have completed your course work. IAB exams are on demand so exam papers can be ordered at any time by the Exam centre of your choice..
- Child care costs are eliminated for students, thus these costs are not a barrier to learning.
HOW THE PROGRAMME WORKS
- The duration of each course is four months
- The duration of combined courses is five or eight months.
- At the end of each Module there are assignments to be completed and submitted to the Personal Tutor.
- The Scheme of Work will give you detailed information on areas that are covered for each Module. It also gives you deadlines for handing in assignments to the Personal Tutor.
