Twelve Berkeley Institute students from the S3 and S4 classes have been given a financial boost by The Argus Group who will pay their registration fees to write the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Entry Level One exam.

If passed, the exam will provide the students with an Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting. The certificate is suitable for those who want to pursue an introductory qualification in accounting and finance.

Students must complete two computer based exams and a Foundations in Professionalism module. The exams are in recording financial transactions and management information.

The exams will take place on February 12 and 13 at Bermuda College.

Yvonne Smith, Business Studies teacher at Berkeley Institute, said: “The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Entry Level One exam is a valuable exercise for the students as many of them have aspirations of someday becoming accountants or working in the insurance sector in Bermuda.

“The exam will provide the students with knowledge that will be an asset to them as they continue to strive to reach their goals. The Berkeley Institute thanks Argus for their contribution and for making this opportunity possible for the students.”
