Course Structure – Two Diplomas, One Seamless Journey

Level 4 mirrors first‑year university content, building essential foundations in Accounting and finance concepts. Meanwhile, Level 5 aligns with second‑year studies, deepening strategic understanding and managerial insight.

You will complete ten Level 4 modules worth 120 credits and ten Level 5 modules worth another 120 credits. Each module features written assignments that develop analytical thinking, research skills, and practical application. Therefore, by finishing both levels, you secure 240 credits, demonstrating advanced competence in Accounting and finance.

If your schedule allows only one level, choose Level 4. Completing it still grants 120 credits and potential exemption from a university’s first year. This flexibility helps you tailor education to personal commitments.

Guided Learning Hours and Rich Study Resources

Every module provides about 40 guided learning hours, delivered through engaging online content, tutor videos, and interactive tasks. Additionally, you receive 30–50 optional study hours packed with exercises, curated readings, and web resources. Consequently, motivated learners can explore topics like financial reporting, cost analysis, and business ethics in greater depth.

Dedicated Academic Support and Flexible Delivery

Our platform allows 24/7 access, letting you study anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, experienced tutors offer one‑to‑one guidance, ensuring prompt feedback on every assignment. Discussion forums encourage peer collaboration, while live webinars clarify complex Accounting and finance topics.

Because the course runs entirely online, professionals can balance work, family, and study without sacrificing progress. Learners set their pace yet must finish within five years, maintaining structure and momentum.

ELCAS Funding – Reduce Financial Barriers

We proudly confirm this diploma qualifies for ELCAS funding. Eligible service personnel and veterans can therefore offset tuition fees and focus on mastering Accounting and finance rather than worrying about costs.
