You will have to pass the exam for Module A to D online (you can do at home at any time and can retake the exam). After that you will be eligible to sit the final exam.

No, it is not. The Exam fee is GBP 170 (pounds) and payable directly to ATT-UK. Steps to register for the exam will be discussed in class. There is a 20-30 minute orientation on the first day of class about LMS, ATT Registration, Final Exam, etc.
7. What learning materials will I receive and when do I receive them?
You will be given hard copies/books as learning materials. No soft copy will be given. The books will be distributed on the first day of the class. If you are planning on attending Day 1 online, you will have to notify us in advance so you can schedule the pick up/collection of your books either in PwC or in the DIFC Academy.
8. Will I get a certificate upon completion of the course?
Upon passing the final exam, you will get the Certificate for the Diploma. The hard copy will be available 3 months after the exam is passed but soft copy will immediately be available. You will also be receiving a soft copy of the Attendance Certificate from PwC, with a hard copy available upon request (at no additional cost). Note that there is an 85% minimum attendance to get the certificate (absence can be made up for by viewing the recorded session – subject to PwC’s approval).
