Learning Delivery modes
The School of Professional Studies (SPS) of European University Cyprus in Limassol offers evening (part-time) and
live online block release courses (BRCs) leading to the ACCA exams.
OUR PART-TIME, EVENING COURSES
Usually commence in the 3rd week of January (for the June exams) and in the 3rd
week of July (for the December exams) and
Are usually taught on a weekly basis (1-2 times per week), 6:15 - 9:15 pm.
Occasionally, Saturday classes might be held from 9:00 am - to 2:00 pm or 3:00 pm
(specific details for each course are provided on the timetable)
OUR BLOCK RELEASE COURSES (AVAILABLE LIVE ONLINE)
Usually commence late February (for the June exams) and early August
(for the December exams)
These intensive courses are implemented between four to six phases depending on
the subject:
- 3 to 5 teaching phases (usually Friday and Saturday) which are held every 3 weeks
- 1 revision phase (spread over 3 to 4 separate weeks thus allowing students adequate
time to revise the material)
Hybrid tuition: where the classroom mode of delivery applies, the HYBRID model is used. When students are
unable to join face-to-face classes, the hybrid mode allows them to attend in a synchronous manner online.
The recordings will be made available for students to watch in their own time until the exam date.

2 At least 35% on each progress test and the final mock exam

SPS
EXEMPTED STUDENTS SCHEME
Exempted students can join a paper they are exempted from at no cost provided they attend the corresponding
advanced paper at SPS.
Specifically, students receiving exemptions from any ACCA paper, and especially from TX and FR, can join the
respective full SPS courses and receive all relevant material at a cost of €265. However, if later on they attend the
corresponding ACCA advanced papers (e.g. ATX and SBR) at SPS, the amount already paid will be deducted from
their fees.
Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this scheme since it will help them refresh their knowledge
and bring it up to date before attending the Strategic Professional papers thus increasing their chances of passing
them on first attempt.
