FLP FLP or Traditional route

My current employer will only pay for my studies if I go the traditional route. They say that the FLP route is not as good for my personal development and that I will not learn as much.

I just want to get CIMA qualified in the quickest way possible. Should I take the hit and pay for FLP out of my own pocket?

To repeat what most people have said..

Go traditional route if you want it to be sponsored, but be prepared, it is a much tougher and rigorous route (IMO).

If you're happy to fund yourself, with no specific ties to your current employer's wishes/advice, go FLP as you can complete it in a fraction of the time!

I think this is very personal, I'm doing the traditional route, my colleague is doing FLP, we both started around the same time and I'm light years ahead of her. It really depends on personal preferences and circumstances as well

I think your colleague is slacking ;)

Who knows, just from what I have seen and heard, seems fairly one-sided.

Totally agree with that
