Why EduPristine’s Classroom Training Gives ACCA Students a Leading Advantage?

Hello, and welcome to our new blog! If you have decided to pursue the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) course, congratulations! You have opted for a qualification that is recognized globally and valued by employers worldwide. Just as crucial as this decision must have been, deciding how to study is equally important, as it could have a major impact on your learning outcomes. Don’t worry because we have listed below the factors that should be considered, and we hope that by the end of this blog, you will be in a better position to decide for yourself based on your learning needs, circumstances, and preferences. Let us get started quickly. Before we start, it is important to note that whether you opt for classroom training or live virtual online training, the end goal for all learners is the same: to clear the ACCA exams successfully and to get placed in a good multinational company. EduPristine, a leading training provider in accounting and finance, understands this need and supports learners by offering both modes of learning. We strongly believe that no one format is the answer because we all have our own likes, preferences, comforts, and so on.

  Our observation says some students prefer studying individually, while others prefer to study in groups. Some students prefer studying in a classroom setup, while some prefer studying at home. Some students prefer a synchronous mode of learning, while others demand asynchronous delivery. To cater to such countless needs, we, as an institute, strive to provide flexible options to all our learners with a clear focus on improving the outcomes that could, in turn, attract exciting job prospects and thus promise a better quality of life.

No doubt, certain elements would remain the same in both modes of delivery. Elements like –

• • Study material by Kaplan, an award-winning global training provider and publisher.
  • ACCA course syllabus to be covered.
  • Passionate and experienced faculty members from the industry.
  • Interactive learning environment.
  • Factors like engagement, discipline, and teaching methodology, among others.

So, what differs? Let us find out.

1) Direct Interaction with Instructors and Peers:

• • • The ACCA course syllabus is comprehensive and renowned for its depth and breadth, covering a spectrum of topics essential for aspiring finance and accounting professionals.
    • Direct interaction with instructors and peers not only makes it easy to understand the core topics but also makes learning more enjoyable.
    • EduPristine provides in-person physical classes for the ACCA course, where learners can fully immerse themselves in learning, making it easy for social interaction with instructors, peers, and staff.
    • Lack of participation is a major issue while studying online. Learners may feel awkward or struggle to connect with instructors or classmates virtually.
    • In a virtual setup, retention of information is another challenge since participants are engaged in passive learning, which is less effective compared to active learning.

2) Motivation:

• • • A classroom setup allows learners to be in constant touch with other learners who may be similar in some way or striving for similar positive outcomes. This not only enhances direct interaction but also forms a close network.
    • This close-knit network is a direct source of motivation. When one falls behind, they can measure themselves against their peers and pull themselves back by making extra efforts to match the pace and practice what is needed.
    • In the long run, this also helps students build their professional network as many of them will likely be working in the same industry.
    • Isolation is a major challenge when it comes to virtual learning, as learners may not get the same opportunities to interact and form connections with their peers, unlike in a physical classroom setup.
    • In a virtual mode, the interaction is limited, making it challenging to keep pace with others, as one may not necessarily have the self-motivation to do so, which can severely impact the end result.

3) Personalized Attention:

• • • Direct interaction provides instructors with a unique opportunity to observe the learning patterns of the students in class. This makes it easier to alter the pace of teaching and know exactly which areas need more personalized attention and more examples to understand the concepts better.
    • Personalized attention may not always be possible in a virtual setup. This could be because of technical difficulties, slow internet connection, software compatibility issues, and other challenges. Some learners may also not be comfortable switching on their cameras, adding another layer of difficulty to the situation.
    • Additionally, frequent power shortages could be another challenge leading to the cancellation of lectures, thus disrupting the entire schedule.

4) Structured and Distraction-Free Environment:

• • • As the name suggests, classroom training demands students to be present at a specific time and urges them to focus on their studies during that time without any distractions caused by external factors.
    • Don’t we all agree on the fact that greater concentration and focus always lead to better learning outcomes and thus, better results?
    • EduPristine strives to provide learners with a structured and distraction-free environment.
    • Having a fully distraction-free environment at home may not always be possible and can lead to other activities, forcing learners to skip entirely or focus only partially.
    • There could be other interruptions as well, such as dogs barking, children playing cricket outside, someone talking loudly, phones ringing, etc. Such interruptions not only waste time but also effort and money.

5) Additional Assistance:

• • • It is likely that students may require additional assistance from their instructors, peers, staff members, or customer support team members. This requirement can be easily fulfilled by waiting for an additional 15 minutes after a particular class.
    • Access to immediate support helps learners overcome challenges swiftly and ensures they stay on track with their studies.
    • This close proximity makes learning more effective and less daunting compared to a large, remote learning setup.
    • Yes, getting such additional assistance is possible in a virtual setup as well, but it is very difficult.

This brings us to the end of this blog, and we hope this helps you make an informed decision for yourself. If you ask us personally, we would always recommend face-to-face learning due to its added advantages over other modes of learning. The priority should always be clearing the exams first rather than thinking about saving some time and money on traveling. Take a pause and think about how a failed attempt can have a negative impact on your learning journey. Not only would it lead to added expense, but it would also set you back by maybe 3-4 months, resulting in a loss of opportunity and income far greater than the little extra amount you will invest to enroll in classroom training.
