20th October 2009:

Good Luck to all students sitting exams in November. Read Alan's Exam tips

Distance Learning - all mailings for the November exams have now been posted - give me a call if you are missing anything and I will email it.

Revision - Courses are now underway but there is still time to book a place.

COFA Investments - we are experimenting with an online virtual classroom for this subject. It is lovely to have a group of students from around the world including Belize, Bermuda, Barbados, Guernsey and Gibraltar. Very international!

World Prizes - so far we have heard from two of our students who have won world prizes in the June 2009 ICSA exams. Congratulations to Maria and Karen - flowers are on their way!

Good Luck to one of our past students, Yvonne Harkness and partner who have been working hard to set up their own business, Architectural design and draughting services for domestic and commercial clients www.icondesignsolutions.co.uk .


10th August: A group of Company Secretaries and Students in Manchester have asked if we can publicise a new group run by volunteers:

 

Inaugural North West Company Secretary networking event

Ever felt like you were missing out on company secretarial social, networking and technical events because you work in the North West?  

In the 1990s the Manchester Branch of the ICSA was extremely active organising social and training events for ICSA students, graduates, associates and fellows based in the North West.  Unfortunately in recent years the Manchester Branch closed and such events are no longer held.

Following discussions between ICSA students, graduates and associates working in the North West the establishment of a new North West Company Secretary group has been proposed.  

The types of events proposed to be put on by the group are:

·        networking and social events; and
·        technical sessions with relevant speakers looking at topical issues of importance for company secretaries

The first North West ICSA event is being held on 17 September 2009 at 6.30pm at Beluga, 2 Mount Street, Manchester Centre M2 5WQ. Please register your interest to give us an idea of numbers. Please contact Victoria Parr at victoria.parr@harvesthousing.org.uk

ICSA Certificate and Diploma in Business Practice

ICSA have announced that the LAST exams for these qualifications will be in November 2010. Campbell's College will continue to offer updated courses for all subjects until the last exam. There is still time to complete your studies and gain either of these qualifications. 

Future entry routes into the Professional Levels are still to be confirmed-but Campbell's will be there!


17th July 2009

To all COFA and DOFA students. I do hope your exams went well this week. As yet we have not seen copies of the exam papers but hopefully by the end of next week we will be able to comment.

ICSA IQS students - ICSA estimate that the June exam results will be released on the 17th August.


May 2009

Good Luck to all students sitting exams in June.

ICSA IQS news: Our distance learning courses for November exams will be updated after the June exams and will be ready to start in July. New this year - an evening course for Corporate Financial Management in Gibraltar.

COFA & DOFA news: For Accounting Fundamentals we have been experimenting with a new online classroom which enables us to deliver live or recorded sessions to our students overseas. Thank you to our pioneer students in Belize and Bermuda who have been participating in this new venture. We hope to make these sessions available for other subjects in the near future.


15th October 2008

Congratulations to our prizewinners. ICSA did not publish a list of prizewinners for the November 2007 exams so we can only add you to our hall of fame if you let us know! We are hoping to receive a list of June 08 winners soon. We like to send a gift to all our winners!

Revision classes for professional levels are filling up, but there are still spaces.


15th August

ICSA June exam results are due to be released on Monday August 18th at 5pm on their website. They will also post the results in the traditional fashion. Do let us know how you got on and feel free to call for advice on what subject to do next.


23rd June

We are pleased to announce that our London revision classes are moving to a new venue on the South Bank. Access is really easy from Waterloo station and from the underground and bus network. Details are on the revision page along with dates. The venue, 15Hatfields has been designed to full environmental specifications and is the most sustainable venue in London! We are sure you will love it.  London revision page

Also new - we are offering two revision courses as an audio option - we send you the same notes as used in the London course but with an audio commentary as files on a pen drive. You can then listen to Alan while you work your way through the revision notes. Courses available as Audio for November 2008 are Strategic and Operations Management and Corporate Law. If successful we may introduce more next year.

Belize COFA - Alan flies out to Belize for OBE revision on 5th & 6th July - venue is the Biltmore Hotel as usual.

Gibraltar COFA - OBE revision is on 5th July at Bleak House
