Time Table

The Study Program

GTG’s study programme is a combination of face to face tuition and the students studying at home on their own.    

GTG’s face to face tuition is divided into 3 phases:

Introductory and interim phases
During these phases, the trainer will concentrate on covering all the major areas of the syllabus.  This is done in a very interactive way, using lots of case studies and examples.  Ample time is given for students to try examples by themselves, with the trainer’s supervision, in order to ensure that they have really understood the topic. The trainer will aim to give each student individual attention so they understand what areas they need to concentrate on during their study at home.  Each interim course will include a progress test to ensure you have been studying between the courses.

Revision phase
During this phase, the trainer will predominantly focus on ensuring that students have developed the right exam technique.  This will involve asking the students to answer examination questions under timed conditions, then de-briefing their answers and showing them how they can improve their answer for the examiner.  The trainer will mark some questions so the student receives immediate feedback.

Home study and Mock exams
The monthly phases are separated by home study which the student undertakes on his own, with a guided timetable from the trainer.  A final mock exam will be organised by GTG and sat by all students in an exam-environment. GTG believes that knowing the content of the syllabus is only one part of getting through the exam; exam technique is the other half.  By taking exams, the student is able to practice the aspects of time management and writing in a coherent way for the examiner. Once the exams have been marked by the trainer, the student will be given individual feedback on how to improve his/her score.

Study method
The programme will be run as a weekend course. Weekend batches will be run through Saturday /Sunday for 6 hours each ( Marked in red). We provide flexible evening study options for those who cannot be part of the weekend batches. An assigned tutor at the centre would be responsible for receiving and administering the exams under timed exam conditions. 

Overall suitability for enployees
Dip IFR would be a suitable qualification for commerce graduates with 2 years experience or Indian Chartered Accountants and those who are employed and are involved in preparing or consolidating the accounts of subsidiaries based abroad. It would also be invaluable to others involved in finance as IFRS is becoming the norm across the world.
