Introducing our new subscription model.
Benefit from the most efficient and cost-effective approach to studying at the Certificate Level and Professional Level.
UPDATE - We have now opened up further Certificate Level places ... click here to read more and sign up!
One simple fee of £50 per month to gain access to our resources for ALL modules at both levels.
That's £50 per month total, NOT per course.
Your subscription includes all our video, PDF, podcast and online content.
So no matter how you prefer to learn, we have you covered.
Here's a quick overview of how each course works.
Condensed Workbook PDF and questions
We have created our own simpler version of each Certificate Level and Professional Level Workbook so that you can focus on the most important points only. Our version of the Workbook is generally 15-20% of the length of the full ICAEW Workbook, saving you bags of time.
We follow this up with plenty of self-test questions to ensure you have observed the key learning points.

Turbo Revision Videos
In these videos, we blitz through the Workbook chapters, covering the most examinable content. We generally cover each chapter in 20 minutes or less (and even quicker if you 1.5x or 2x our discussion!).
Quick-fire questions
For a practical exam such as the ACA, questions are the answer. This really is the best way to learn, actively engaging with the content and getting things wrong to learn for next time. Each question can be completed in a few seconds, providing a much more proactive way of learning.
Question Bank and past paper debriefs
The final weapon in our arsenal is our tutor debriefs in which an experienced, multi-prize winning tutor will take you through a selection of the most important Question Bank and past paper questions, passing on our tips about how things are always tested and rewarded.

Meet our Founder
Martin Johnson
Hi, I'm Martin. Nice to meet you.
I set up Paradigm Shift after being very underwhelmed by the tuition approach of the usual suspects. Having been a teacher for several years before starting my ACA training, I saw quite a few things that could be done better.
10 years and over 20,000 students later, I think we have been proven right and we are very proud to continue to offer an alternative and more practical approach to the ACA exams. Check out the testimonials in our Wall of Proof if you are sceptical (which you should be as there are always marks for professional scepticism in the ACA exams!).
I have now taught 12 ICAEW prize winners, including Kieran Doe who went on to found ACA Masters (and who I trained as a Case Study tutor) but while prize winners are nice to have, I actually take more pride from an overall pass rate of over 95% since we started our tuition company. This includes working with numerous students on their final attempt at the Professional Level exams.
I am a fully qualified ACA (qualifying in 2012).
In addition to running Paradigm Shift, I have set up Key Worker Nation as I feel very strongly that Key Workers should be given a proper thank you (as opposed to some clapping) for keeping us all alive during the pandemic.
Key Worker Nation provides support to UK Key Workers and I am proud to donate 30% of the profits from Paradigm Shift to this cause. So when you study with us, it is a real win-win for all concerned (apart from our competitors).
If you need any further information, please contact me on LinkedIn using the link below, cheers!
