Every month we have an Online Course starting, led by a UK tutor and attended by students from around the world. You and your classmates will follow a fast-paced schedule and work your way through a series of video lectures, online practice questions and assessments, that will get you exam ready in 6-8 weeks. Video lectures cover 100% of the syllabus, are recordings of BPP's top lecturers and can be downloaded to your mobile phone and viewed offline.
You can access the resources up to 2 weeks prior to the start date and use that time to browse around and explore the online platform. The start date is the date the tutor joins and when your assessment submission schedule kicks in. You will have access to your tutor, your classmates and your online resources for 6 months from the course start date or up to your exam date for sitting-based exams. Hard copy material is included (or eBooks if you've selected this options).
In BA3 students will obtain a practical understanding of financial accounting and the process behind the preparation of financial statements for single entities. These statements are prepared within a conceptual and regulatory framework requiring an understanding of the role of legislation and of accounting standards.
Each exam is a 2 hour computer based assessment. BA1, BA2 and BA3 each comprise of 60 objective test questions and for BA4 there are 85 objective test questions. The exams are on demand and can be sat at any time at a Pearson Vue exam centre or at home via the Online Exam option.
Objective Tests are computer marked, so as soon as you complete your exam a result of "Pass" or "Fail" will be provided at your assessment centre.
