For professional bodies

Exam preparation on the work of the job.

Help members and candidates prepare on real work: post the entries, prepare the statements, write the memo. Organised by level and exam diet, starting with ICAN.

What gets in the way

The practical part is the hard part.

01

Past questions train for the paper

Candidates learn to answer questions, not to keep books or prepare a reconciliation.

02

Tuition varies widely

Candidates across the country get very different preparation.

03

Practical skills are hard to assess at scale

Marking work papers by hand does not scale to every diet.

How Peridot fits

Built around how professional bodies work.

Body → level → paper → diet → mock and case study. Tuition partners can be units with their own admins.

HOW YOUR ORGANISATION IS SET UPexample
Example structure for a bodyProfessional bodyFoundationProfessionalFinancial AccountingCorporate ReportingMay dietNov dietMock examCase study

By level and diet

Foundation, Skills and Professional; the May and November diets.

Built on the syllabus

Labs follow the published syllabus, chapter by chapter.

Books and Sheets

A bookkeeping app and a spreadsheet, not a form with blanks.

Partner tuition centres

Accredited tuition providers can run the same labs with their own classes.

Roles

Everyone sees what they need, and no more.

Five roles cover every organisation. Names stay the same everywhere, so a lecturer at a university and a trainer at a company use the same screens.

Org adminThe body’s education team.
Unit adminA tuition partner or a district society.
LecturerA tutor running a class.
TAA marker or assistant tutor.

Questions

From professional bodies

Is Peridot endorsed by ICAN?

No. Our ICAN courses follow the published syllabus. We do not claim any endorsement or partnership.

Can candidates use it on a phone?

The labs need a laptop or desktop screen. Reading the course book works on a phone.

Can we see a syllabus map?

Yes. The ICAN syllabus map is linked from the course catalogue.
