Course Structure

The course is run on a part-time basis by The Management Centre. Classes are delivered via ‘blended learning’. Blended Learning is a unique combination of face-to-face teaching, on-line seminars and tutorials. Designed to making life easier for busy professionals, it minimises time away from the office and has less impact on the day to day operation of the business and the students’ working day. The course is structured to allow students flexibility in choosing the number of papers they wish to sit at each examination sitting.

Tuition fees payable to The Management Centre at the commencement of the course are £250* per paper for papers F1, F2 and F3 and £447* per paper for papers F4 to P7 and include tuition and revision sessions, case study technique tutorials, study text, exam kit and attendance at any of The Management Centre seminars and tutorials.

Additional costs, including registration, annual subscription, examination and exemption fees (where appropriate) are payable directly to the ACCA. The current level for these costs can be found at www.accaglobal.com.
