The Romanian Banking Institute and ACCA
It is the fundamental mission of the Romanian Banking Institute (RBI) to raise the level of knowledge and
experience of all finance professionals in Romania.
Supported by all of the banks operating in Romania, RBI offers specific training courses and access to
high-quality professional qualifications through a variety of learning methodologies and has established
itself as the country’s primary provider of professional finance education.
It is therefore no surprise that RBI is very pleased to announce the provision of intensive revision courses
to support ACCA students preparing to take their ACCA examinations in June and December 2014.
Intensive Revision Courses
In this initial ACCA session, RBI is offering intensive revision for ACCA papers F5-P3. We will widen our
range of papers very quickly, for future sessions, and intend to offer courses for all F and P papers by Fall
2014.
RBI has a large, modern and fully equipped, built-for-purpose training centre located close to Unirii in
central Bucharest. It can easily be reached by car and all forms of public transport. All RBI’s ACCA courses
will be delivered at this excellent venue at all times.
RBI’s intensive ACCA courses include:




An individual study plan, created by each course trainer for each student and given to them with the
course study material at the start of each course.
Comprehensive study material provided by Kaplan, the international specialists in ACCA training,
and approved by ACCA.
Four full classroom teaching days per paper – two Friday and Saturday sessions scheduled in midApril and May (see the enclosed teaching schedule).
One pre-test for each subject, taken prior to the beginning of each course, one progress test, taken
between the two classroom sessions and one mock exam after each course with extensive
feedback from the course trainer.
All of the above are included in the very competitive course fee.
Course Fees
RBI’s very competitive, affordable and all-inclusive fees for the June and December 2014 revision courses are:
For each ACCA F paper – 250 Euro (VAT not applicable)
For each ACCA P paper – 300 Euro (VAT not applicable)
