Reviews
I've found it very useful and it keeps me disciplined over the year, rather than scrambling for last-minute CPD hours towards the end of the year. I also enjoy the mix of technical accounting and management skills topics in each monthly module.
"The online course provides a good alternative to face-to-face with the use of the different mediums, i.e. video, interactive slides and notes."
