Q> How often do RCA run courses? 

 A> Here at RCA we run all courses twice a year to keep students moving through their chosen qualification. For CIMA these run during the Spring & Autumn each year. For ACCA, classes run in line with the x 4 exam sittings each year, therefore courses run during the Winter, Spring, Summer & Autumn terms, with all subjects covered twice a year. 

 Q> I'm not sure where to start, what do I need to do first? 

 A> Your first step is to check any exemptions you may be awarded via previous studies, we can then establish your starting point on either ACCA or CIMA. Then register as an ACCA or CIMA student, pay the associated fees and receive your ID number, from here you can begin your studies and book out and sit exams.
