I find cimastudy.com to be great for those studying independently; it brings much of the subject matter to life.  I'm going to use these courses again as soon as I can find anyone willing to team up so we can benefit from the 25% off offer.

Upto five of us can benefit from the same referral string so please give me a shout and contact me via MyProfile if you're interested.

The course subscription runs for 12 months so you can in theory use these for both sittings in the coming year. 

Hi all,

I just passed my last management level exam on a resit - F2 with 52% (thank god as I did a lot of work in one month got 33% in May had a poor lecturer in BPP Dublin). 

Question is what do I do now?

Hi there.

I have recently joined CIMA and am planning to take the F1 exam in the Nov'11 sitting. I have chosen to take only 1 paper this time as I have recieved exemptions from all cert level and E1 papers and as I have been away from an exam environment for a number of years I thought it would be best to just take on one exam and then hopefully do P1 and F2 next year.

Hi All,

Recently I used Kaplan for F1 and found it very useful as I passed in my first attempt. I would now like to find whether Kaplan or BPP provide better study material (distance learning) for P1.

Your suggestions and recommendations will help me in deciding.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Has anyone used the BPP Online Classroom for the Managerial papers.

I'm going to be using it for P2 intially and after discussing it with BPP they say the it includes both the tuition and revision phases (i.e. don't need to go on a separate revision course) of the college classroom course.

This seems to good to be true especially at such a low cost! I'm happy if it does and it works so I just wondered if anyone else has used for the last sitting?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing the CIMA online distance learning study courses for my Operational-level exams, which I intend to sit in 2011. I taught myself the material for Certificate papers using only the CIMA study books + revision cards & passed all CBAs first-time, averaging 80%. However, I am concerned that books alone will not be sufficient for the Professional stage.

Hi all,

That time of year again where I spend days deciding which online tuition provider to use.

Have used so far, and in order:

CimaStudy (awful, never again)
7City (excellent, but no longer cover CIMA)
Acorn (good, low cost)

I don't want to use BPP or Kaplan as they are too expensive.

Does anyone have any experience of First Intuition online courses - their prices seem quite reasonable.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Can someone advise me please as to who is the best distance learning provider.I wish to study for my strategic level exams.I hear people recommending Kaplan,but I understand there are other providers as well,such as Cimastudy.com etc.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone

I'm currently considering how to study towards E1 and P1 on the new syllabus.  I'm intrigued by these new online classrooms and wondered if anyone had any feedback on the practicalities of these.  i.e. did you pass and learn easily?

BPP's class of the future looks fun if the video is anything to go by (http://www.classofthefuture.co.uk/demo.html).  What does everyone else think?  Can you learn and pass using this or is it a gimmick?

 The way this has been setup is very impressive but is it as good as a classroom course?

Afternoon all,

Has anyone had any experience of these new "online study" courses?

 I've started distance learning the new 3 strategic papers for May and think i will definitely need abit more help than just reading the books!

The provider i was considering was LSBF - are they any good generally? Good value for money? How many hours tuition do you get? Do you need a good internet connection?

 Any insider info would be much appreciated!

 Thanks

Andy

Has anyone tried to use the iPass CD-ROM from BPP for P3 or P6?

 Please let me know as I am thinking on buying this CD in order to keep me motivated to resit these 2 exams (failed 3 times) by using an alternative way to studying. Each CD costs £30 and I don't want to buy them if they are useless.

 Cheers,

Filipe
