    Course is hard. Is a good experience before FAE or ACCA finals. Project work is massive. Definitely would recommend if going for ACCA as will give a much better foundation than the degree. I know loads of smart people who really struggled with ACCA after the degree but 2 in the masters passed first time relatively at ease.

    In general a good course, hard work though!!

    Size of class is very small. Although numbers may have improved since I sat it!!

    Just wanted to say one final thing which I originally forgot to post. As you probably know you get extra exemptions from Chartered and can sit your fae after 1 year. What a friend of mine did was Sit ITI P2 exams in Y1 of Contract Sit FAE in Year 2 of contract and sit P3 ITI in Y3 thereby being a qualified Tax adviser and Chartered Accountant at the end of his contract with all the experience. My employer wasn't so generious but Big 4 will definitely pay for it. Similarly you can sit Certified in Y1 OR 2 ACCA.

    There is 19 in the class this year. No they arent too strict about the 2.1 but would like to see a high 2.2 I think.
