In addition to attending the above program, you are advised to obtain further tutorial support through CFE-In-Practice.  This program is also well suited to all who intends to pursue and sit for the Diploma in Financial Management examination offered by ACCA (UK).  In effect you will be getting the benefits of In-House Practical Training for your functional area and acquire an opportunity to secure this very prestigious and recognised post-graduate qualification from ACCA (UK).

Included in the cost of the course is one year subscription to the CFE-In-Practice Newsletter - a quarterly publication containing useful, relevant articles and information.

You can also access back copies of the newsletter as well as copies of past articles so that you can practice what you have learned before being assessed.  These are available free of charge via CFE-In-Practice's website.

Each of the two modules will be assessed via a 3-hour examination CFE-In-Practice offers examination centres worldwide, and sessions are held twice a year in June and December for its clients.  One or both examinations can be taken at one sitting.

The examination for each module covers the two subject areas in that module and is assessed via a combination of multiple choice and written questions.  Like the ACCA examination, the CFE-In-Practice examination is also based on the subject areas covered by the module.

The internal examination must be successfully completed in order to achieve an overall pass in the module.

On successfully passing both modules, you will receive a CFE-In-Practice certificate and the entitlement to apply for an Associate status with CFE-In-Practice.
