'There are considerable benefits to distance learning, not least of which is the flexibility it offers the student. The quality of the BPP BIFM workbooks and the support network offered by BPP make distance learning even more attractive in the current hectic business climate. Sometimes though there is a need for interaction with other students and tutors and the BPP Revision Workshops fulfill this need. Depending on where you are in the exam programme, the workshops offer the chance to learn exam techniques; to help you focus on critical areas; to reassure you that you are on track, boosting your confidence; to plan for the dreaded day; or just simply to share experiences with other students facing the same concerns. Wherever you are in the BIFM exam route, you should consider making the Revision Workshop an essential part of your success.'

The BIFM examinations require candidates to be able to write for 3 hours the answers to a number of questions. The Chief Examiner has commented on numerous occasions that students need to be able to express themselves clearly in written English to a level that would be expected of a manager in business. This means good grammar, spelling and an appreciation of style and layout. For students whose mother language is not English, we recommend that a score of 5.5 in the IELTS scheme is obtained. This score is midway between a moderate and a competent user of English as defined by the IELTS. The International English Language Testing System is used widely across the world and all Universities use this system in their entry requirements. You can visit their website for more information
