The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is embracing the future of education with the launch of its innovative Icai Digital Learning Campus, designed to provide an enhanced and adaptable learning experience for students. A significant feature of this platform is the introduction of Self-Paced Online Modules (SPOM), a crucial component of the New Scheme of Education and Training. These modules offer Final course students the flexibility to complete the mandatory 40 hours of learning in both SET A: Corporate and Economic Laws and SET B: Strategic Cost & Performance Management at their own convenience, anytime and anywhere via the ICAI Digital Learning Campus (https://lms.icai.org/login).
Key Highlights of Self-Paced Online Modules (SPOM)
- Exclusively for Final Course Students: SPOM is specifically designed for students registered in the Final Course, ensuring focused and relevant content.
- No Additional Fees: Access to Self-Paced Online Modules is included within the course framework, eliminating any extra financial burden for students.
- Progress Tracking Dashboard: The ICAI Digital Learning Campus features a user-friendly dashboard that allows students to monitor their learning journey and track the completion status of their SPOM requirements. This ensures accountability and helps students stay on schedule.
- Mandatory SPOM Test: Upon completion of the prescribed learning hours, students will be required to undertake a SPOM test administered by the Examination Department. Further details regarding this test will be announced separately by the Examination Department in due course. Students can refer to the Examination announcement (https://resource.cdn.icai.org/75658exam61200.pdf) for information on exemptions in SPOM.
