BUDGET Distance Learning VERSUS Distance PLUS Online Learning

Please note that a major difference between the 2 options is the level of support. With the BUDGET option you only receive assistance to get the software installed and running (this is the limited technical support via email). In terms of the actual learning material, the BUDGET option is a SELF STUDY.

With the Distance PLUS Online learning you can ask any questions you have on the learning material in our student forum and you will get answers there (including video recorded answers where necessary).

The budget also EXCLUDES online video lessons, mock exams and teamviewer support.

If you need help in terms of working with the software or getting through the learning material please make sure you choose the Distance PLUS Online learning which comes with a high level of support.

For most people we would recommend the Distance PLUS Online learning.

However, if you already know how to use Pastel (or you are good at working with different accounting software) and you just need the certification, then the BUDGET option may be a good option for you.
