hello,
you are still young,don't worry....
for 2.4,i would suggest you can go to Mr Chow Kim Tai from FTMS....
For 3.2,Kwai Fatt is a good option but i am afraid he is not conducting revision this round,maybe you can consider Mr Chow Chee Yan from Mc Orange or Ms Kok from PAAC...
For 3.4,you can go to Parmindar class in Kasturi...

Coolly, so which Tuition provider is the best for 3 core papers especially Advanced corporate Reporting??
U suggest me to go for the whole revision class or the intensive one?? Last time, u take both class (normal & intensive class)??

Anyway, you are very very smart since u completed the ACCA in 2.5 years. Thats great!!

3.PwC already called me, i forwarded my results to them yesterday.. so practically i'm just waiting for them to call me again to confirm whether i'm shortlisted.. instead of the Big 4, except PwC, i would rather join BDO Binder.. lol.. my fren is there and he told me it's good pay n much more relaxing compared to big 4. plus, BDO also easily accessible by lrt... so actually if PwC turned me down, i'll go to bug BDO to hire me.. hahaha

*
So, u r joining accounting firm first. Why u just consider PWC?? What's wrong with other Big3 ?? Yes, I heard tht Big 4 is super stressful... shakehead.gif

I think I will directly join commercial firm after I graduate.

normally we won't follow the tuition provider as the guide of reference,i will suggest you to look into the lecturer who is teaching...

For 3.5,i went for Marty windle class last time,i think attending his class is fun especially this is a management paper.

For me,i personally think Keith Farmer for paper 3.6 is very good in term of exam technique,i would strongly recemmend you to join his revision class...

For 3.7,you can consider Daniel Ho and also Fred Keer,i attended both their normal and revision class before,their revision class are great...

i would suggest you to go for the full revision class,in fact when i was studying my ACCA last time,i am taking it in FTMS,so there is no whole revision and intensive,only one type of revision only...

ya,i was study full time last time,so i am taking normal class and also revision class...

finally,thanks for your compliment,if i can do that you also can..so continue to achieve your dream of ACCA....all the best.... smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

examiners are paid well.. but not as well as famous ACCA lecturers.. if u r a famous lecturer, u definitely can earn more than the examiner

bcos PwC is the biggest ma.. and the best lor haha.. other big 3 got nothing wrong lor.. EY & KPMG i dun really feel like joining.. malaysia's deloitte is like, not really big.. i rather join BDO which is relaxing and pays ard the same amount of money..

i know i know.. audit it tough n boring.. commercial is so much better etc etc.. but trust me dude, everyone i met through my studies told me that audit firm is the way to get a fast successful career.. this is bcos the training and the pressure and also all the exposure u get when u r doing audit... especially in big firms.. the OT u work and exposure u get.. is many many times fold.. u work audit line 3 yrs to get ur membership, when u come out to go commercial at that time, u probably have experience that is equivalent to 6yrs.. LOL..

audit also open our mind to see how ppl do things in real life.. how ur clients hide, treat their accounts etc etc.. plus, u can easily build ur contacts for ur future career purposes..

and as for me, i'm joining the bandwagon...hehe. currently majoring in accounting and finance, and by the time I graduate, I'll be exempted from 9 of the ACCA papers...actually the whole exam got how many papers? 14 right if i'm not mistaken...?

hello,
they are all teaching in FTMS...
i am studying in FTMS from my part1 to part 3 last time except 3.2 only...
however,i would suggest you refer to the lecturer who is teaching before signing up for the class..
like i told you,for 3.5-marty windle
3.6-keith farmer
3.7-Daniel Ho and Fred Keer
They are all good and currenly got class in FTMS,so maybe you can consider attend their revision class,i can say for core papers,they really help me to pass the exam coz all of them are dedicated and experienced....

all the best..
