CP3 - Overseas intervention by IFoA

    IFoA won't answer questions on whether it has anything to do with English language competence, won't share tutorial materials nor will be transparent how much this cost IFoA. They said Acted don't hold face-to-face tutorials there as their reason to intervene. I don't buy their explanation as Acted do provide interactive online tutorials in CP3.

    I had to spend £££ on an online CP3 revision day. Was the Asian material from IFOA available for free? Everybody from Asia can get an online CP3 tutorial or revision day etc. Don't have to trip in to the UK.

    They claimed they had to pay for this but no amount was declared. Whatever the alleged fee was, I doubt this was a cost-neutral exercise. It all rather undermines Acted as well, if they think about it...

    I think it is very unfair to all students who reside outside of the UK but not in the Asian countries where the additional support by IFOA was organised.

    Indeed. I think it's very unfair and unreasonable that IFoA are refusing to release more information about the exercise especially the costs and what materials were shared.

    I have no problem with it.

    I know people who struggle with CP3 - non UK residents and not in Asia and would definitely appreciate extra help.

    It should be available to everyone or no one at all. Equality.

    You could say that about everything though?
    is it fair that UK students have face to face tutorials when non UK students don't?
    For instance SA1 is only available in London - not even online - is that fair?

    Should they have a situation that no tutorials are given unless available in all locations and online?

    That's Acted. This thread is about IFoA's provision.

    You said unfair to all students who reside outside of the UK but not in the Asian countries. Almost_there is very quick to highlight words that the IFoA make, or other posts make and ask for back up - so I would why he hasn't asked you to show back up of how you can stated All students? - have you asked them all or are you just making an assumption?

    Ace123 - refer to Derek Cribb's stats in the post above.

    I said Asian countries where the CP3 additional tutorial/ material was made available.

    Your statement and I quote it again for you states you think it's unfair to all students who reside outside the UK but not in the Asian countries.

    Now as one of these student's I don't think it's unfair at all. In fact I think the majority of students understand why it's done and have no problem with it.

    I had a nice big meal for lunch. This doesn't mean I'm weird for being concerned people are starving elsewhere.

    You have misunderstood what Viki said btw.

    Your right it doesn't but instead of helping people and telling them hints on how to get food/pass an exam, you moan and give out about the system, while your fellow students starve/fail exams.

    I should have written:

    I think it is very unfair to all students who reside outside of the UK but not in the South East Asian countries where the additional support by IFOA.

    Ace123 are you residing in South East Asia where the additional support for CP3 was provided? If you are not a resident of South East Asia but you reside somewhere else in Asia, you might be at a disadvantage because you did not receive an additional help in CP3.

    I have no problem with students in Asian counties getting extra help if that’s what the IFoA believe is needed for them.

    I also have no problem with students in South East Asia receiving extra help from IFOA but this help should be extended to other regions in the same format/cost in order to make the education fair.

    The carbon footprint of this exercise also bothers me. What's so wrong with Acted's provision that IFoA need to send an undisclosed number of people there in person?

    The ifoa should disclose how many first class flights they take
