We believe the ACCA learning materials delivered by LSBF will support our students to demonstrate the highest level of knowledge, ethical and professional standards." said Olga Cileckova, PwC director, ACCA CEE Centre of excellence based in Czech Republic .
The materials will be delivered in hard-copy and electronic format to PwC sites across the region. In order to increase their chances to pass the ACCA exams, learners will have access to LSBF's exclusive rich-media learning materials accessed through the award-winning online learning platform.
