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
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.
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
