Life long learning
Life long learning
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is pursuing far-reaching plans to use the Internet to deliver interactive lifelong learning to its global community of 250,000 members and students. The new development – known as ACCAdemy.com – offers something for everyone – from interactive tuition and support for ACCA students to online professional development courses aimed at finance professionals in business and practice. For student training, ACCA is working with leading international tutors BPP to develop a "virtual campus", which will be accessed from ACCAdemy.com. Aimed initially at ACCA's highly successful Certified Accounting Technician and Diploma in Accounting and Finance qualifications, the ACCA-BPP virtual campus will offer interactive training delivered both on CD and via the Internet, as well as online tutorial support and assessment, real time collaborative learning and a wealth of multi-media reference materials. Online professional development is also available through ACCAdemy.com, enabling busy professionals to broaden their skills without the inconvenience and cost of travel to classroom based courses. The Internet courses will count towards ACCA's CPD requirements for members and are also designed for a wider business audience.
