CIMA - BPP, FTC or PREMIER TRAINING

System

Hello

Does anyone use Premier Training? I'm just about to order my first CIMA paper. My employers don't sponser me so I have to go the home study route. I've heard BPP are not good for home study courses. FTC Kaplan have better reviews although I believe they are owned by the same company. Premier Training seem to be getting a good press however they don't appear to be listed on the CIMA website. I don't want to waste my money because it's hard to come by! Can anyone advise?

Thanks Karen.

I'm doing AAT Technician with Premier and find them really good. They're friendly, supportive and definitely know what they're doing.

What I really liked (when I originally contacted them) is that they don't talk in jargon - they communicate really well.

At times, they aren't too fast in sending work back. However, I have always been able to speak to my tutor when I need to - which is a real bonus.

Some providers don't give you a dedicated tutor, so that's worth considering before you choose.

Thanks for your reply, it's much appreciated. I am finding the concept of home study a bit daunting as I went to college to do AAT. It's nice to hear some positives about home study from people who are actually using it because there are lots of well meaning people out there that fill your head with negative thoughts. So if anyone else has anything to add I'd really love to hear from you.
