Dear Student

As you know, in response to your requests, we agreed to provide PDF downloads and CDs of the online study content, so you would have access to the study guides offline and have an easy to print option. Six modules are now available in PDF format and the remainder should be ready by the end of the week. 

PDFs for the following syllabi are now available:

• Governance and Public Policy
• Taxation
• Leadership and Management
• Financial Reporting
• Public Finance
• Audit and Accountability

To access the PDFs:  Click on ‘View’ for the relevant module.

Click on “Launch” (name of module) Syllabus.

The PDF for each session will launch in a separate window.

We are aware that the quality of the PDFs is not what any of us had been anticipating and we are now converting the PDFs into re-formatted  MS Word documents, that will be more  print-friendly.  We are also seeking a solution that will include in the offline modules all the text that is in the online study guides, without relying on hyperlinks to further information online. You will also be able to make use of MS Word tools such as highlight text and cut and paste. 

We apologise for currently being unable to provide you with the quality of offline study guides that we had hoped.

For the time being if you are using the PDFs make sure when downloading a study session you access and save any documents hyperlinked in the body of the text, to use offline later.
