Computer-Based Examinations

In addition to the traditional, paper-based examinations, ACCA also offers all of its Knowledge Moduleexaminations on computer.

Although the exams are taken on computer, l inked to ACCA's own testing system and question banks,the exams are sat under strict exam conditions and are administered by organisations formallyapproved by ACCA.

The most important advantage of ACCA's computer-based exams is that they can be offered at anytime and so allow students to complete the Knowledge Module at a time that may be more convenientthan ACCA's major exam sessions in June and December each year. Candidates may also resit eachpaper as many times as they like. Please note that the CBEs are included in ACCAs allowance of amaximum of four exams to be taken at any one session.

ATC International is approved to run ACCA's computer-based exams in Bucharest and we are offeringthis facility to corporate clients and individual students throughout 2008.

The computer-based examination fee in 2008 is Euro 70 per paper plus VAT. This does not includethe exam fee payable to ACCA.

Students who wish to take advantage of our computer-based examination facility can attend our open

ACCA courses in preparation. See more details in this brochure.

For more details on our computer-based examination facility, please contact:

Luana Costea at [email protected] .

ATC Internationals International Bookkeeping (IBK) Programme

Before students commence their studies for paper F3, if they have not been awarded exemption fromthis paper by ACCA, we think it is advisable that they undertake the ATC International Bookkeepingprogramme (IBK).

We feel this is a key part of preparation for paper F3, as it covers all the basic elements of Financial

Accounting, which are assumed knowledge on the ACCA training courses.

Taking the IBK programme is a good thing even for students who have previously completedAccounting degree programmes at University as it bridges the gap between the academic study of thesubject and the more practical and more international content of the ACCAs professional programme.

The IBK may also be studied independently to the ACCA qualification, as a stand-alone trainingqualification for staff engaged in bookkeeping duties. You or your staff may simply need some basicaccounting knowledge, or you may not be sure that you want to take the full ACCA programme or areworried that perhaps your English is not yet good enough.

As a classroom course, the IBK lasts for three days. However, we also provide the course on a DVDthat includes video presentations by one of our most experienced tutors and full study material withquestions and answers. The IBK DVD is designed to provide a full self-study option to individuals and

also corporate clients who can make it available to their staff either on disk or as downloaded contenton their company intranet system.

The price of the IBK DVD is Euro 120 with a discount structure available to corporate clients.
