Crumbs in your keyboard

Finding the time for effective study in between your job and social commitments isn’t easy. If you’re not working late, you’re trying to keep a half decent social life going. Sometimes there never seem to be enough hours in the day! Enter the ACCA BPP Virtual Campus.

The ACCA BPP Virtual Campus is an interactive education system that combines well tested learning methodology, specialist knowledge and tutor support with the flexibility and dynamism of the Internet. Not only does it present subjects in a clear and engaging manner, it can be accessed using any PC, anywhere in the world at any time of day. This makes it ideal for students that are time constrained, have difficulty getting to a classroom course or need to study in more than one place.

Convenient study
One place to grab a few minutes study is the office. If you have Internet access and you don’t mind getting crumbs in your keyboard you can use the Virtual Campus in your lunch hour or tea breaks. Depending on when you study best you can study before or after work. You can complete a few exercises or peruse some useful links knowing that you can start from where you left off either at home or at your next break. By getting into the habit of logging on and learning when you have a spare five minutes you will be surprised by how much time you clock up.

What do you get?
The ACCA BPP Virtual Campus comprises four main areas:

• Study resource and an intuitive interface
  By accessing the material on the campus, you will gain from the experience of the BPP team and the insight and knowledge of the ACCA. By regularly checking the pages within the ACCA BPP Virtual Campus and the links within it to the ACCA web site you won’t have to worry about missing out on exam-targeted material and articles. The intuitive interface helps structure the learning areas in an easy to use manner.
• Full tutor support
  There will be times when you need assistance or advice. Just because you are learning online doesn’t mean that you can’t have access to tutor guidance. You can contact a tutor using our Mailbox facility where we will reply to your query within one working day. All tutor correspondence is stored in your campus Mailbox so that you can reference them as you need to.
• Study modules
  Fully interactive study modules will take you through the core syllabus areas and supply you with invaluable feedback. At the end of each study session, your progress is recorded so that you know exactly where you are and where to set off from next time you log on.
• Practice modules
  The fully interactive practice modules will test what you have learned in the study modules and give you regular feedback with progress reporting. As you advance with your study, you can monitor how well you have done over a period of time to see how you have improved.

Take a look for free
To try out the ACCA BPP Virtual Campus, you can register as a Guest for free.

What if you don’t have Internet access?
