For a number of years now we have been reporting great sets of results for Anglia Accountancy training and this year is no different! 2008 was always going to be a difficult and challenging year for the students taking their Technician exams. This follows the change of approach by the examiners across the PEV and PCR papers in particular. “It meant that the students needed to be a lot broader in what they were looking at and clearly had to draw on knowledge from the Intermediate qualifications,” states Victor
Another big change reflected in the recent exams meant that students had to show understanding of the questions and be much more analytical in their answers. It wasn’t a case on relying on good arithmetic.
As a result these changes impacted on the national averages which suffered a decline, whereas AAt maintained its strong performance. “We anticipated changes to the exams this time, papers evolve and therefore so do our teaching techniques. We expect a similar style will continue through to the June exams, but we are working hard with the students already preparing them for this,” states Jenny
Other papers that did really well include the Foundation and Personal Tax both achieving a 90% and 97% pass rate respectively. “Again this is a reflection of all the hard work put in by students’, staff and employers. Great work – here’s to another good year of study!” Victor, Jenny & the AAt Team.
