The course takes you on a structured journey supported by multiple explanatory videos following the SBL syllabus consolidating your knowledge through marked homeworks and mocks

In summary the course will give you the following

  • The key knowledge needed to be able to develop depth and opinion in your case study answers by providing you with user friendly videos that make the information stick (similar to a tuition stage bur remember SBL is an applied and not a technical exam)
  • This knowledge will be consolidated with practice questions which have comprehensive debrief videos explaining the different ways in which you could get credit from the marker. – remember no one correct answer in SBL!
  • At the end of the knowledge stage, you will do an exam standard mock which will be marked plus include comprehensive feedback on where you are doing well and where you need to improve.
  • Following completion of this stage we will fully focus on developing our exam technique by focusing on revision questions - again with full video debriefs and these will be followed by another mock to time again including comprehensive feedback on where you are doing well and where you need to improve
  • Finally as soon as the ACCA pre-seen material comes out I will write a mock based on it, which you will be required to complete to time and submit a couple of weeks before the exam and again will get full marked feedback on your approach.

Overview & 'deep dive'

Tuition Course

The tuition course I have created for you based on my experience of working with ACCA makes sure that you have knowledge of the key technical areas which the computer based exam (CBE) requires  you to apply in a commercial and workplace related way. The course will highlight the key things you need to know and then show how to apply this knowledge using simple techniques that will deliver you fantastic answers to real exam questions.

>

To supplement the technical knowledge, I will also be sending you regular articles which explain how some of the technical things we discuss apply and are relevant in current real-life business situations. This is very important as the SBL examining team will be also influenced by these events and some of them will act to catalyse real exam questions.

This course is designed to get you through your exam if you are sitting in 2 months’ time, or later.  However, I would really encourage you to get yourself organised and follow my advice in all the motivational articles I have written on the ACCA website and get this exam out of the way as soon as possible – and then start living your life again. If you follow my approach it is definitely something you can do – so please have confidence and, if you are reading this shortly after results day, enter for the next exam sitting.

This course consists of pre-recorded lectures covering all of the main areas that are needed to create good insights and opinions to SBL case questions. You will also get summary guidance notes on how to approach each area.  There are relevant homework questions, with video debriefs of the questions.  This material will be integrated with videos and articles produced by the ACCA examining team.

>

This course concludes with a 4-hour SBL mock, just as in the real exam, with a full professional standard marking service.  All of the questions will be of an exam standard right from the start so you get fully familiar with what is expected of you in the real exam.  Even better, and unlike many other SBL courses, you will answer many of your practice questions on the ACCA practice platform (designed by the ACCA to mimic your real SBL CBE exam platform) so you can become fully familiar with its functionality.

Your approach to following the course will be manged by clear guidance and will involve building up knowledge step by step before showing you how to apply it to real exam questions.  You will attempt more questions to exam standard / in exam time than you may have done when studying for applied skills papers.  It is really important that you attempt the questions I set this way as that is how you will earn yourself the best chance of being successful.  I will be with you all the way,  making sure that you know what to do and learn from any mistakes that you might make. the best. Please take this opportunity to clear your SBL in one sitting.

Instalment conditions

Conditions for Payment by Instalments

You can enrol now by paying the instalment payment (choose the first instalment payment drop down for your chosen exam), and then making two further payments to buy your course.  You will be enrolled within 24 hours of your initial payment, and usually immediately.

Your second payment must be made by 7th of the month following your initial payment.  E.g. if you enrol on 2nd or 26 March  you must make your second payment by 7 April, and your third instalment by 7 May.  Your second instalment and third instalment is made using the drop down menu above, in the same way as your first instalment.

If you are unable to make subsequent payment(s) by the agreed due date(s) then you should speak to Sean urgently.   If you do not pay an instalment by the due date your enrolment will lapse and you will need to enrol afresh to gain access to your course, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

A course is available for ‘Payment by instalments’ only if the First Instalment for that exam is available.  Making a second or third instalment payment before making a first instalment payment will result in your payment being held as a downpayment against a subsequent course with this tutor.  If you ask for such funds to be returned then we can do so, but will deduct the bank collection fees paid and an admin fee of £20.

Terms and Conditions

The terms and conditions that apply to all FME courses can be found at the foot of each FME website page.  These additional terms and conditions refer only to this course.

  1. HD Videos can be streamed to your PC, Mac, tablet or smart phone (technology permitting) and can be watched as many times as you wish prior to your exam sitting.
  2. WhatsApp support will be via a dedicated WhatsApp group, which will involve revealing your contact details to other students. The WhatsApp group is for Sean to support your study approach and answer your questions: it is not an exercise in the ‘blind leading the blind’, so mutual student support is not encouraged.  The exchange of copyright materials between students (by any means), or any attempt by a student to obtain such materials from another student, will lead to exclusion from the course. This WhatsApp group will close the day before your exam.
  3. Sean Purcell orders electronic copies of the Kaplan kit on request post enrolment. The codes for these can take 7-14 days to arrive.

Pass Assurance scheme

I am confident that completing this course should get you a pass in ACCA SBL. BUT, if you are not successful and have met the scheme conditions, either you will be enrolled on the Platinum Package for the next SBL exam (excluding updated Kaplan materials and the pass assurance element) or I will refund your fee (at my option). 

To qualify for Pass Assurance:

  1. You must submit all homework on time
  2. You must achieve a mark of at least 40% on the End of Revision CBE Mock included in this course.
  3. You achieve a mark of at least 40% on the SBL CBE exam to which this course relates.
  4. You must provide FME with all necessary information in time for FME to register you with ACCA’s results service, and agree to share this information with ACCA.
  5. You must email me a copy of your ACCA result and request re-enrolment under this Pass Assurance Scheme within one week of receiving your results.

Deferral policy

    • Please make any deferral request by email or by What’sApp to Sean Purcell
    • There is a £40 admin fee
    • You can only defer once: no subsequent deferral allowed
    • Deferral is not allowed once the standard exam entry date for the relevant exam has passed

Progression to Revision

Progression to revision is contingent on adequate progress in tuition. If, in your tutor’s opinion, you are not making adequate progress on your tuition course then you will not be enrolled on revision. Instead, you will be deferred to the tuition course supporting the next exam sitting.  If this scenario repeats in the following sitting, then you will remain on the tuition course until that sitting’s exam, at which point your enrolment on the course will end with no fee remission.
