I want to thank VIVA for bringing to a successful end my study journey. I only wish I knew about VIVA earlier! Since using VIVA, I have passed my final exams.
Shaminda Angodage
When I started VIVA's course I was not sure what to expect during the exam, but I feel much more confident now. Thank you so much to Kelly and the amazing team at VIVA!
John Cyriac
Thank you for the support VIVA has provided. I must acknowledge two factors specifically: one, the structure and content of the course; and two, Laura, the instructor. She is simply the best, and virtually has no competition in the trade!
Katie Beatty
In hindsight I would have studied with VIVA from day one. So for those considering a tuition provider, get the best out of your studies by subscribing to VIVA, you won't be disappointed.

Course FAQs

I don't see a course for my ACCA subject currently on the website. Will VIVA be offering such a course?

Yes, throughout 2023 VIVA will be launching premium online courses for all 15 ACCA subjects, from Applied Knowledge all the way up to Strategic Professional (Options). If you do not currently see your subject, rest assured that it will be launched in the coming months. To be notified immediately of its launch, ensure you are subscribed for free to our mailing list here.

I currently only see video lectures and course notes in my ACCA course. Will VIVA be adding more content?

Yes, VIVA will be adding short questions, mock exams, mock exam debrief lectures, and more to all of its ACCA courses throughout the rest of the year. If you have already purchased at an Early Bird price, you will gain automatic access to these additional course resources at no extra charge as and when they become available.

How is the price so low? I see other tuition providers charging thousands for single courses.

VIVA was born entirely online, and since day one has maintained a small team of dedicated experts. This low cost-base has allowed for relatively high investment in a streamlined online learning platform and high-quality production values. This in turn has allowed us to scale our tuition rapidly, reaching thousands of students across the world.

Our low cost-base and scaled delivery affords us the luxury of being able to charge radically lower prices for premium-grade courses than traditional, brick-and-mortar tuition providers (or online providers with bloated administration and sales teams who target and service large institutional clients).

If I fail my ACCA exam, will I still have access to the VIVA course?

It depends on when you purchased your course, and when the exam takes place. You have access to your ACCA course for 12 months from the date of purchase, regardless of what happens in any exam that you may sit in that period. As such, you have guaranteed access to your VIVA study resources within that 12-month time frame. Once the 12 months have expired, you would need to renew your access with another payment.

What’s VIVA’s pass rate?

Due to GDPR restrictions, it is increasingly difficult to compile our students’ pass rates whether directly or via CIMA/ACCA. However, VIVA has had consistently high pass rates over the years, and this is attested to by the fact that VIVA was awarded the prestigious Global Pass Rate Excellence Award in 2020 by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants!

Make sure to check out what students are saying about us here.

Can I download the video lessons, or view them offline?

No, the video lessons can only be viewed online on VIVA’s website and may not be downloaded due to copyright restrictions.

I have another question that is not answered here. How can I get in touch with VIVA?

If you're still confused, just drop us an email at info@vivatuition.com, or use our live chat box (bottom right), and a member of the team will be happy to help.
