Have you just received your O-Level and A-Level results and are now looking to start ACCA? Or perhaps you are a current ACCA student wishing to further your studies?

Eiher way, KPMG Learning Academy offers live online ACCA lectures delivered by Kaplan, one of the world's largest online education providers and the largest provider of accountancy training with over 40,000 students a year.

With over 10 years' experience in delivering high quality content and expertise, Kaplan, through KPMG Learning Academy, enables you to study ACCA part time, from the comfort of your home and on your own terms. Indeed, KPMG Learning Academy's live online ACCA classes give students the interactive benefits of the traditional classroom environment but with the flexibility and efficiency of online learning.

When joining, you will get access to lectures delivered by expert tutors following the same material and structure as traditional ACCA lessons, but in an innovative way with a live and interactive classroom experience conducted online in a 'virtual classroom' with live video streaming.

The Kaplan system also has an interactive chat panel, so you can speak to your tutor and the rest of the class as if you're in a real classroom, and they will answer you there and then. Each lecture, meanwhile, is recorded so you can go back to any part of the course as many times as you like - the recorded versions are uploaded to the live online community 24 hours after the live sessions have been broadcast. You will also be given access to Kaplan's online learning system, MyKaplan, where you'll be able to access all the study resources you need. A hard copy of all study materials is made available, too.

Meanwhile, prior to your exam date, you will get to sit for practice and mock exams, which will be marked by expert tutors and come complete with feedback to help you ace your final exam.

Moreover, if there's any point when you're on the move while doing your course, this will be available through the MyKaplan platform. This gives prospective students the opportunity to study via smartphone or tablet, making sure you really do have absolutely no boundaries to what you can learn, and where you can do it from. Oh, and most ACCA modules are available in the afternoon and evening, too, meaning you can attend according to your own timetable.

Anyone can apply for ACCA given that you have the requisite O- and A-level qualifications; though some students do decide to start from the foundation level to help them build their skills first. Either way, the average time to complete the full qualification syllabus is three years, though the ACCA qualification is extremely flexible, allowing you to keep your studies or choose an area to specialise in, from financial accounting and taxation, to business accountancy.

Finally, costs vary according to the ACCA course you choose but, as a Maltese national or Malta resident, you are able to benefit from a whopping 70 per cent tax credit of the costs incurred through the Get Qualified Scheme.

So, are you willing to take the plunge? All our students who have done so say they are satisfied with their tutor experience they had and would recommend KPMG Learning Academy to a friend.
