I wonder if it's possible to take up loan to do the final 3 core papers in the UK... just for the heck of it of course.. considering that you may have the chance to acquired a working permit , apply for jobs and ask your employer to extend your visa....

Anyone have ever done this?

Anyone out there attending philip woo 3.1 class at kasturi? I'll b joining late....so, what shd i expect from him? Heard that he's from singapore n purposely come 2 m'sia once a month juz 2 conduct the lecture.....is there any disadv if he's not local? Quite worry also for my 3.1....internal paper is coming but feel like didnt learn much from 3.1....all is just c/f from 2.6

i never joined but my frens did..so far i heard the feebdback is ok wor...should not cause big problem even though he is not local...just i told u b4 lo,class is long and maybe tired,mind easy exhausted lo...

I've read in the UK forum that if you have ACCA alone and not a degree, you will have a limitation of not being considered for higher positions...

Is that true? I personally think that is BS considering that ACCA is better than a degree, and a degree candidate still do have to take the professional exams anyway, which just consumed time when the professional ACCA graduates could have started on their ICAEW training....

They kept defending the statement of how there will be a glass ceiling when you apply for top management jobs/higher positions jobs... but I don't think they look for degree alone, but mainly your experience, expertise and MBA will probably helps a lot.

in uk,there might be true..sorry no opinion given as i don't really get to know the situation there...

but for msia,purely having a degree is not sufficient as normally the firm requires the degreeholder to pursue professional exams after they joined in....

so i believe if u are having acca in msia and without a degree,it does not cause a big issue and i don't think it prevents u from going to a higher level position,beside academic ,i do think like wat u said experience and working skills do contribute a lot to the promotion,this is just my 2nd thought...

Chow kim Tai v andrew pang? one is at systematic and kasturi respectively right? So, which one is the 1st choice? Thx

BTW, philip woo is good lo. Attended his class recently....i can understand better d approach 2 answer questions.....

In the meantime, internal/college exam is around the corner.......the exam t/t sucks....many people are complaning about it.....SBS are proposing for an earlier exam date becoz of the acca meeting at tarc(1st held outside UK for the 1st time)? Is that mean they can compromise or take our exam dates lightly?
