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.
Topics chosen are excellent and depth is neither too shallow or too deep. Timing of topics is perfect especially after budgets or statements. Use of speakers and authors who are top experts in their field. Not all hard skills, soft skills also included which are most relevant and frequently get overlooked.
Really interesting topics that cover a vast number of subjects. The way the material is presented is really engaging and does not make it feel like I am clocking up CPD hours. I particularly like the mix of short videos and the quizzes to understand your knowledge as well as the case studies. The CPD reflection report is brilliant.
