Our essential, exam-focused core materials are included in our distance learning package and can be purchased by taught phase students to be used in conjunction with our classroom material.
Core Materials
Study Texts
Our market leading study texts explain complex rules in plain English. As well as being packed with illustrative examples and quizzes, the texts contain plenty of exam focus points to ensure that your studies are completely on track.
Students taking two Advisory papers to one sitting will receive an overlap text book to cover both papers. Therefore students will receive and pay for one book.
Have you considered buying your CTA texts as E texts?
E texts are BPP’s latest innovative study solution. They are easy to use and make studying on the move a real possibility. You can install your E text onto three different machines, thus removing the need to carry a heavy text book with you when you move from location to location.
The CTA Awareness study text is available as an E text as are the following three technical texts that you may need for your Advisory papers:
- Capital Taxes
- Personal Taxes
- Business Taxes
Each E text can be purchased together with the printed equivalent of the same text for an additional £12. E texts purchased independently of printed texts are charged at the normal retail price for that text.
To purchase your E texts please contact customer services on 020 8746 4150.
Course exams
Course exams are a fundamental part of your study. Once submitted they will be marked and returned, not just with your mark but also with valuable guidance comments from experienced markers. If you book onto a classroom course, these exams can be sat under exam conditions at a BPP training centre, for no extra charge.
Route workbook
The route workbook is packed full of questions relevant to the paper you are studying for to give you plenty of question practice. In addition, the workbook is designed to guide you through the study texts and ensure you have all the syllabus knowledge necessary for the exam.
Passcards
These pocket sized spiral bound books are perfect for revision on the move. The visual presentation emphasises the key points to jog your memory.
i-Pass CD-ROMs
This CD-ROM is packed full of law and ethics questions. You can create tests of varying lengths, making it a versatile revision tool that can be used during your lunch breaks in addition to your planned self study time.
Mock exam
Towards the end of the course you will take a mock exam in each paper under exam conditions. This will prepare you for the real exam and you will receive valuable tutor feedback, highlighting areas you may need to focus on.
