SKILLS AND LEARNING STATEMENT 1.1 PREPARATION DONE BEFORE MEETING WITH MY MENTOR.
I received an email from my regional ACCA office (ACCA GHANA) announcing that they were organizing a support program for those who qualified and were interested in completing the BSc in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University. Interested students were asked to come and register at their office. I went to their office and registered myself and was informed of when i would have my first Meeting, the venue, the time and what I needed to do before that meeting. I had to go online and download the BSc in Applied Accounting information pack from the ACCA website and read it before the meeting, which I did. The information pack talked about Oxford Brookes University, eligibility, aims and outcome, assessment criteria, role of a project mentor, research and analysis project preparation guide including all the topics, submission periods and rules and regulations. I also had to come along with a jotter and a pen. I was excited knowing that I would get a degree if I successfully completed both parts of the project and I could not wait to get started.
