ACCA SBL Strategic Business Leader Exam Preparation Course

Course Overview

The Strategic Business Leader exam is designed to mirror the workplace and requires you to demonstrate a blend of technical, ethical, and professional skills. It tests your ability to function as an accountant in a simulated workplace and asks you to respond to requests from people in various roles.

It won’t only be the technical quality of your answer that matters, but also how professional your response is.
