not sure if i'm qualified to state this,especially as i'm only starting out in foundation, but i will anyway! I recommend using Osbourne material u will also need the workbook and u can also purchase the tutor material with answers to all workbook questions(based on sound advice from Dawn at Premier Training-thank u) I am currently working from the BPP but I have to say I cant get on with them- (like many students) so once i leave my center i pick up my Osbourne and everthing is simplified for moi. Hope this helps!!

I used Osborne for foundation, FTC for intermediate and a mixture of FTC and BPP for technician.<BR><BR>As Amanda said Frank Woods are excellent for double entry knowledge and practice as they give loads of questions for practicing and checking understanding. I found Osborne were excellent but we found that you couldn't purchase the answers to the workbook as they were for tutors only, maybe they changed that rule but I did that at college so could get them anyway. FTC and BPP I found were the best but found that BPP went into more than was required so if you could answer everything using BPP you knew you would pass!<BR><BR>Hope this helps<BR><BR>Annette

I passed Technician in June this year.<BR><BR>I would definately recommend Osbourne books. They are really student friendly.<BR><BR>I had BPP books for some topics and I didnt like them at all, they dont explain things as good as Osbourne do.

[tips]

Where is the best place to buy Osbourne books? Does WHS or Water Stones? If so how much?
