The School of Professional Studies is the result of the successful merger between BPP (the first institution in  Cyprus to offer professional courses) and Cyprus College. It represents BPP UK, one of the largest and most reputable accounting training and publishing companies in the UK. The School's overriding objective is to help students to pass their examinations by offering them the best in professional education. Over the years, BPP has set the highest academic standards for the teaching of the ACCA syllabus and the results speak for themselves: the pass results are always well above the worldwide average.

The best guarantee that our pass rates will continue to be outstanding is our team of dedicated teachers. The team consists of committed and highly experienced professionals who are trained to deliver the best.

Some of the achievements of the School of Professional Studies are:

• We have upgraded the service that ACCA students deserve to have.
• We are established as the "College that cares".
• We have considerable success in the overseas market. We have been entrusted to deliver ACCA courses in numerous European countries.
• Our recent results of the Chartered courses have been the best ever achieved outside the U.K.
• We set the standards on student service. We treat them with respect, care and professionalism.

Quality Assurance

Prospective tutors pass a vigorous and strict screening process before they can be accepted into the college and all college lecturers are continuously assessed on their performance. Questionnaires are regularly given to students to fill in to assess their tutors teaching methods and abilities. In addition, teacher-training seminars are organized regularly by the college in a constant effort to improve our standards.

Support from BPP (UK)

The links between our college and BPP (UK) continue to grow from strength to strength:

• We use BPP manuals, revision kits and revision notes in all our courses, at all levels.
• We have been given the right to use BPP lecturer's' notes for all the courses.
• We regularly send our lecturers to BPP (UK) for further training, learning and acquaintance with BPP UK's environment to help improve our quality of teaching.
