This book is a very helpful, informative companion to anyone undertaking the CPCAB diploma. It retains the style of the Level 2/3 book, making it accessible to students.

This book is great for general information for students in terms of answering some questions they may have, however doesn't offer much in terms of reference material for when writing assignments.

We are using this text book as it follows the CPCAB syllabus and gives students excellant support away from the classroom to write their journals and assignments.
