consultancy. He initially worked for Chart Tutors (now Kaplan) running one of their
examination centres, then moved back to Deloitte’s audit training department and then in 1996
established his own training company.

Course Objective and Approach
The course is planned as tuition and revision to prepare you for success in the Strategic
Business Management exam. This is our key objective. We assume that you have done
some preparatory work prior to the commencement of the course and that we can build on
this through the duration of the course.
The course will consist of 3 phases – a lecture-based taught phase (4 sessions), a recorded
phase (6 sessions) and a revision phase (10 sessions).
Lectures will include extensive practice on questions from the ICAEW Question Bank.
You will be given Mock Exam 1 (ME 1) towards the end of the Taught Phase.
You will be given Mock Exam 2 (ME 2) towards the end of the Revision Phase.
City Academy’s tutors will mark and review your ME scripts so as to benefit your
learning outcome. You will have the flexibility of practising the ME at your own time at
home but you must submit your ME answer scripts by the due date set. You may also be
given homework, assignments or additional reading materials.
The course is interactive and you will be encouraged to participate in class discussions.
“Completeness” is a key audit assertion. To meet the key course objective of exam success
you need to be complete in your exam preparation. The course is aimed at exposure/coverage
to/of most significant exam matters, and focuses on how these matters will be examined and
prepares you with question practise and tips in answering this ICAEW paper. You will be
expected to attend all lectures and any supplementary tutorials, complete all course
assignments and sit for and submit all ME answers.
