14. Newcastle University Business School is delighted to be working with the ICAEW in relation to the CFAB qualification, which will form an integral part of our new Graduate Diploma programme. We believe the content and relevance of the CFAB programme forms an excellent introduction into the areas of Finance, Accounting and Business

15. Credit for Prior Learning – what it means Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) also referred to as exemptions. Students who have undertaken previous learning may have already studied modules covered in the ACA or CFAB We recognise prior learning and do not require students to sit these papers – but a decision about whether to take a credit can often rest with the employer. For students with a degree it is possible to claim up to 8 credits; for students with another professional qualification it is possible to claim up to 12 credits.

16. CPL- applications process CPL is a highly regulated area by the professional oversight board (POB) We receive applications for CPL from students, HEIs & Professional Bodies A self certification process is applied to all HEIs and Professional Bodies must take responsibility for reviewing their syllabus and matching learning outcomes with that of our own ACA/CFAB syllabus They must have their CPL application signed off by appropriate person within their organisation They must update us immediately of any syllabus change that may impact on their credit and they must make an annual declaration to confirm that their courses remain fit for purpose
