Having start my acca a couple of years back I am now getting to the end of the course and although I have done most of my modules at home, after an OK experience at Kaplan, I figured it was time to go for classes, to get that extra boost I needed. With Acca and most other accoutancy course, there are two main schools that come recommend by the ACCA themselves, these schools are BPP, that I am reviewing, and Kaplan that I went to last year for a couple of modules. Usually peoples opinions are split down the middle in which school to choose, as prices are similar, as the options available and length and availability of classes, and the number of schools ...  Read the complete review

After careful research and investigations - and countless conversations with different course providers, I chose to study at BPP - they offer block teaching courses, and allow you to study as quickly (or slowly as you wish). Having said that they are not the cheapest company to work with - however, as I was not paying, and the primary focus was placed on getting qualified as soon as possible - I went with them. It cost £1000 (this is two years ago) for Intermediate Level AAT and this included all study time, all exam fees, all learning materials, AAT annual membership and simulation fees. Just in case anyone is wondering - the costs for all of these ...  Read the complete review

BPP - CIMA I have been studying with BPP for the past couple of years, having switched from FTC Kaplan (so many mistakes in their texts!), and have found them to be professional, helpful and they've managed to get me through my exams to date! I would highly recommend them for any accountancy qualification. You can easily book courses by email/fax/on-line and its possible to mix & match course location and type. Their customer advisers are very helpful and will phone you if there are any problems with your booking and to chat about how they can help you. They have centres in most major cities and you can take exams in even more ...  Read the complete review

I'm currently using BPP study materials and attending their day release classes for the ACCA F8 paper so this will be a review of my experience with them so far. Classes generally start on time (9am) with several 10-15 minute breaks in between and a one hour lunch break. Although classes end at around 4pm you can stay behind after with questions for the tutor who would be more than willing to answer. One thing which I particularly dislike is the disruption caused by late comers and the classes do get pretty crowded sometimes. As with all BPP study centres, there are usually classrooms that are vacant which you can use (ask at the reception) to study ...  Read the complete review

I used BPP to buy a Home Study pack for several of my Certified Accounting Technician exams. The cost of each pack was just over £100 for a textbook, a set of pocket notes, a book of practice questions (and answers!) and exam style questions on CD. You also got two practice exam papers, which you undertook as if it were a real exam and then sent your answers to BPP and they returned them, marked, with the score you got and the answers sheet. The home study packs are around the same price they are with FTC Kaplan, the other company I have used to purchase study material. I found BPP to be helpful with ordering, my employer was paying for my books and wanted to pay ...  Read the complete review
