WELCOME TO THE APC BRIDGING COURSE
Our APC Bridging Course is a preparatory course specifically and exclusively designed for CIMA (CGMA, ACMA and FCMA) and ACCA in Zimbabwe [ACCA(Z)] professionals who are looking to bridge their technical knowledge gap and develop technical proficiency with regards to financial reporting (ACC), auditing and assurance (AUD) and taxation (TAX) prior to joining an APC Professional Programme.
The APC Bridging Course is tailored for finance professionals – including directors, chief financial officers, managers, accountants, and analysts – who either have limited recent exposure to external auditing, taxation, and financial reporting or have not recently studied. Our expert lecturing team demystifies complex technical content, making learning straightforward and accessible.
Throughout the course, you will engage with the APC Competency Framework and receive guidance through case study-based assessments modelled on previous APC exams. The focus is on strengthening and embedding your technical knowledge to maximise your success in the APC. The course runs from January to July, positioning you to seamlessly transition into our Catch-Up APC Programme and prepare effectively for the APC December 2026 assessment.
