Kaunas University of Technology became ACCA licenced CBE centre
Kaunas University of Technology has become the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants’ (ACCA’s) licensed centre for computer-based exams (CBE). The licensed CBE status has been awarded following the formal monitoring procedure by ACCA, confirming that the University’s facilities offer excellent level of comfort for ACCA students and secure the fairness of exam results.
Loreta Valanciene, Head of Accounting Department of the Kaunas University of Technology, said: “We are one of the largest technical universities in the Baltic States, which is fast forwarding to becoming an internationally acknowledged institution of higher education. We aim to provide an open creative environment that inspires leaders and talented individuals and believe that offering on-demand ACCA exams will complete the range of qualification services available to our students. It will also help to make closer ties with real business experience and better career prospects for our graduates.”
On-demand exams provide greater flexibility for students to choose the place and time of examination; students are not restricted to June and December paper-based exam sessions only. Additionally, they get an instant result feedback at the end of the exam. The result is then transferred to student’s ACCA account within 72 hours. CBEs are available for the first three papers of the ACCA Qualification, as well as for the first seven papers within the Foundations in Accountancy suite of awards.
Nataliya Vovchuk, Head of ACCA Ukraine, Baltic and Caucasus States, said: “This is a very important step on the way to establishing digital basis of education and assessment of students, giving them more options and flexibility. CBEs allow saving substantial amount of time at early stages of ACCA progression – a benefit highly valued by young ambitious professionals. ACCA’s aim is to offer best service to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.”
