When studying for any accountancy qualification (CIMA;ACCA;CIPFA;AAT) help is always needed. BPP do various training courses around the country. They give you summarised notes from the textbook, so that there is no need to trail through the textbook. Here is a sample of some of the courses that they provide.
There are Feeder Courses (Courses about four months before the exams) where the tutors go through the notes, highlighting different areas and adding "meat" to the notes. Class discussion is encouraged so that different ideas can be aired. After the course which is normally two or three days long you can phone the tutor at any time if you have any problems, they give you their work and home number for your convenience. There are course exams that you can do, and send in to be marked, to ensure that you are on the right track.
There are Standard Revision Courses (Courses about a month before the exams). Here they go through notes again, but highlight areas that they think will be in the exam. They also show how exam technique can make the difference between pass or fail. They also go through questions so you have the confidence to be able to tackle the tricky ones in the exams. You are able to take the tutor's numbers and there are past exam papers for you to do, which will be marked.
There are also Question Based Revision Courses. Similar to the standard courses, but more question orientated. Again, the tutor's numbers are available and the past exam papers.
I have found these courses extremely useful. Although they are expensive, you could see if your company would sponsor you, if not, it is well worth it as you save so much time concentrating on the relevant stuff.
If you're studying for any accountancy qualification, I'd highly recommend these courses. They leave time in your life for the more important things - partying!
