Dublin Re-Takers

The ACCA course is very challenging and while nobody likes to be faced with having to repeat exams unfortunately a number of students will find themselves in the position of not having achieved a first time pass in every exam they attempt. Traditionally these students have either commenced a course from the beginning even-though the majority of the information is known to them or else they have waited until the month before the exam to attend a revision course. We now offer an alternative to this where you can join others in a similar situation to yourself within a couple of weeks of the results coming out and follow a course of study specifically designed for students who are retaking the paper.
