    Advantages Advantages Useful classes to help with revision

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Exam Kit

    Having started 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 accountancy 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 ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Home and Classroom Study, Competitive Prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some mistakes in the texts

    Having worked in the accountancy field for the last 5 years, I decided that the only way I could further my career was to proceed with getting qualified. Obviously there are lot of things to be considered when choosing a training provider and when I decided to study for the AAT I was presented with a number of different training providers. I requested some literature from all of them and took a great deal of time in considering which one was right for my needs. Due to BPP's competitive prices and the flexibility of their programmes I decided that they were the ones for me. BPP provide training ... more

    4 Stars BPP Education - The way to pass exams 24/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wide range of courses, dates, locations and people!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None yet...

    I have now studied with BPP for nearly two years, and so far they have got me through my exams all first time. They offer a wide range of courses, and a well defined 'path to success'. Their standard study courses are often packed into a short times, but the syllabus is well covered and the lecturers experienced in the subject and area, meaning that they apply the knowledge to get you through the exams, apply it to real life, and make it more interesting. (They also do home study courses, but I would recommend taking a class course if at all possible due to the content) The Revision courses ... more

    Advantages Advantages Course exams;Relevant Notes;Tutors phone numbers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    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 ... more

    2 Stars I'm very surprised there aren't more bad reviews about BPP here 07/12/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Courses are fine, study materials are OK, tutors are all nice

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very disorganised company, gives misleading and incorrect information

    I studied the AAT qualification and the courses were OK, the tutors were all fine, but what really let BPP down was their lack of communication which presumably is a head office problem. Experiences have included being told to travel to Liverpool Street at 9am on a Saturday morning only to find that there is no paper there available for me to take. When I've complained I've been met with indifference from BPP staff. I was told recently to submit a project by post, only to have it returned 2 months later with a note saying that I have to email it in section by section instead. There have been ... more

    4 Stars BPP Quality training 09/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Teach you everything you need to know

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cos it's a private business the costs are quite high

    If you're looking to study Accountancy subjects (ACCA, CIMA, CAT) there are a lot of providers to choose from, all offering the same things at the end of today. I started training at BPP last year, and from my experience it really is good quality. The training can be done in block release days (say wednesday to friday 8:30 to 3:45) or as evening classes over a longer period of time. There are two types of course to choose from, Taught or Revision, both cost arounf £300 each. One good feature of BPP is its Pass Guarantee Scheme. If you fail an exam , you can go to the courses next term for free ... more

    Advantages Advantages books are ok

    Disadvantages Disadvantages terrible customer services

    Everything at BPP has been difficult. For the first module, I bought a package with online lectures. The lectures were so bad I couldn't even watch most of them. Money down the drain.For the next module I bought the basic package with online material. This was supposed to have online assessments, a student forum and other things. It did not. It was literally a copy of the books I received in pdf format on my computer. What is the point of that? More money down the drain.To clarify: to buy the basic online package costs more than twice the cost of all the individual items put together. For this ... more
