Business Management Units

Study Manuals
The Study Manuals provide comprehensive coverage of each subject at all levels. They are essential if you are taking the self-study option, and are useful guides for those attending college. Students should use the guidance notes and BA study manuals in conjunction with the BA subject syllabuses, lecture guides and, where relevant, Questions and Answers for past BA examinations (all of these materials are on the ABE website.)
Study Manuals will be available in two formats:
CD-ROM
Each CD-ROM contains the subjects for one level (e.g. all Diploma subjects on one CD-ROM).
BOOK
Each subject is printed as a separate volume for easy study.
From April 2008, you will be able to order the new CD-ROMs and books from the ABE office, by post (£sterling draft/cheque) or fax (credit/debit card orders only). There will be a downloadable order form here.
Please allow three weeks for delivery from receipt of order (two weeks for UK).
Remember you can also buy study manuals directly from the ABE office.
