Choosing how you are going to study will be one of the most important decisions you make during your time preparing for the ACCA Qualification, CAT or Diploma exams. Will you study with a tuition provider, or at home? How do you decide, from all the institutions offering tuition, which will be most suitable for your needs?
There are numerous tuition providers and a wide variety of different study methods, so selecting the one which is right for you can be difficult. Taking recommendations from friends and colleagues can provide some guidance, but what is suitable for one individual may not be the best option for another.
If you choose to study with a tuition provider, ACCA strongly recommends you opt for one which is approved under ACCA's Approved Learning Partner – Student Tuition programme, as you can be sure:
- they have been assessed against ACCA's widely recognised and highly-regarded global best practice benchmarks
- they have access to a range of development opportunities and tools provided by ACCA
- an investigation will be carried out in the event of any student complaints.
These can clearly be identified by the Approved Learning Partner- Student Tuition Platinum / Gold logo.
