FutureLearn Mooc to offer route to UK accountancy credit - CHRIS PARR, Times Higher Ed

A UK massive open online course will offer students the chance to purchase accreditation that would count towards the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants qualification. Students who take the University of Exeter Mooc, Discovering Business in Society, and then pass an accredited online examination will be exempt from the “Accountant in Business” paper which forms part of the ACCA qualification. The course will begin in September, and is aimed at anyone interested in learning the principles of business. This may include prospective undergraduate students, working professionals without a background in business and people interested in entering the finance profession and seeking a route to ACCA membership. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/futurelearn-mooc-to-offer-route-to-accountancy-credit/2012194.article
