To the Professional Course Students,

Dear Strathmore Institute ACCA/CPA/CIM/CISA/CISM/CFA Student,

We hope you are well and safe.

We are now ready to commence online classes for professional courses as we continue to liaise with external professional bodies namely KASNEB and ACCA. Online classes for professional courses will commence on Wednesday 15^th April 2020.

The following platforms will be used to deliver these online classes: Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business. It is possible to access these platforms via a smart phone or a computer. All the classes will be recorded and posted onto the Strathmore University (SU) E-Learning Platform and students who are not able to attend the classes at their scheduled times can access them later. It is important that you attend these classes and participate fully. In addition, the lecturers will upload assignments, tests, notes and a recording of their online classes.  Timetables will be shared with your respective course administrators. The online classes being rolled out are: ACCA, CPA, CISA, CISM and CHRP.
