Free Course for new syllabus COFA Investment

GOOD NEWS FOR COFA STUDENTS – NEW TEXTBOOKS AND NEW SYLLABUS FOR JULY 2012

ICSA is introducing an updated syllabus and textbooks for the July 2012 examinations.Campbell’s have rewritten our courses to match the changes and these will be ready to go after the February 2012 examinations.

AND We are offering FREE TRAINING for the JULY 2012 COFA INVESTMENT exam

How will it work?

a.         We are providing twelve free online lectures by Alan Campbell running once a week using our WizIQ virtual classroom. These are by invitation, which is free and can be accessed in real time or your own time.

b.         We will email a full set of course notes – free.

c.         We will email a full set of test questions free and we will email the answers for you to self-mark.

d.         During the course if you have any questions just email us and we will answer during the internet lectures.

e.         Detailed descriptions of the lecture dates, times, contents, notes and questions will be posted on our website after the publication of the ICSA textbooks.

What will the cost be?

a.         With us – no payment, just register so we can email your notes and invite you to the lectures. With registration we have some idea of numbers and where you are so we can adjust the lectures to suit you.

b.         With ICSA – you will have to enrol for the July 2012 exam and buy their textbook. But don’t forget there is nothing to stop you and friends clubbing together or getting the firm to buy you the book and sharing.

Why are we doing this?

a.         Firstly – because we can: this course will be subsidised by other courses.

b.         Secondly – because of a promise Alan made some time ago. The Investments course has had the worst textbook and worst pass rate of all the COFA subjects. One year, no one passed from Belize to Gibraltar to Mauritius with the sole exception of a mysterious lady in Guernsey!!  Students have tried again and again and failed. There are many COFA students who have passed three subjects and given up on the Investments. We have told you to wait until ICSA changed the book. And you have waited and waited and waited. Now the waiting is over and we have not forgotten. There is a new book, a new syllabus and a new year ahead – time for one more go!!!

c.         Thirdly – this is also a business experiment. We are making the course open to anyone – not just those who failed before. If you are interested in the International Finance Community and want a qualification recognised internationally across the offshores, here is your chance to try without a huge financial commitment, especially those of you having to pay in foreign exchange. You can walk away or perhaps continue with other subjects, hopefully using us or your local provider.

Please pass the word around especially to those who nearly made it – your time has come.

And if you have any questions just email us.  enquiries@campbellscollege.com
