Live Online | 5-day Intensive and Interactive Training | ACCA Exam Preparatory Course
Advanced Performance Management is part of the ACCA Strategic Professional training programme.
The course begins with topics and frameworks from Syllabus Area D, a section that is consistently examinable and essential for building a strong foundation. Throughout the training, we cover all key areas of the syllabus while addressing common exam pitfalls, ensuring you’re well-prepared for the challenges ahead. You’ll gain a clear understanding of examiner expectations, learn how to avoid frequent mistakes, and develop the skills needed to present your answers effectively to maximize marks.
We also focus on crucial exam techniques, including time management strategies and how to prioritize questions for optimal performance. You’ll learn how to confidently collect easy marks, as well as how to efficiently secure some of the more difficult ones—while recognizing which marks may not be worth the time investment. This strategic approach is designed to help you optimize your exam-day performance, including choosing the best sequence in which to tackle questions under timed conditions.
Our training days run from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm (CET).
