FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO YOU OFFER ONLINE TUTORING?
Yes. Our courses are now available completely online for tutees to take at their own speed.
CAN WE BOOK AN IN-HOUSE COURSE?
No any more - we can offer group bookings and guidance how to use our course to support an in-house tutoring regime for FD4.
WHAT IS YOUR PASS RATE?
Tutees have typically managed to achieve around a 75% pass rate for those on our first time sitters course. In-house courses that Phil has run in the past for first time sitters have achieved 90% pass rates. In 2019 our resitters managed an 87% pass rate. As the PEB doesn't publish data for passing candidates, we can only now get approximate pass rates for our courses.
DO YOU OFFER ONE-TO-ONE TUTORING?
Due to the volume of tutees, we can't offer this as the time involved is too significant if one wants to do this properly. If there are improvements to our courses or suggestions for additional material, we would be willing to consider adding these to provide further support to our tutees.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
We allow cancellations for re-sitters courses booked prior to the results where it turns out that the tutee has passed the exam.
DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS?
Yes, if you've attended one of our courses before we can offer a discount - contact us at bookings@barnesiptraining.co.uk to ask about this.
ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE BOOK?
We are working with CIPA to (hopefully) update the book for 2024. Apologies for the delay.
DO YOU REALLY MAKE US SIT MOCK PAPERS DURING YOUR COURSE?
Yes. You need to try to mimic exam conditions so that when you sit the exam for real you aren't taken by surprise.
HOW MANY PAST PAPERS DO YOU RECOMMEND WE DO TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAM?
I recommend doing at least one paper a month until the exam.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANY MORE TUTORS?
Yes! If you have been an examiner for any of the UK or EQE exams, please contact us at recruitment@barnesiptraining.co.uk
