to me this is what i think:

taking cat and start acca is da fastest route to get ya professional accounting in commerce.. however this route is super tough... depends how u cope with it...

to take much easier route, uk degree in commerce will lead u most of the exemptions in acca papers... to take degree, just go through foundation/matriculation/diploma/alvl or even stpm....

but if money is a concern, i can recommend u goin tarc, their diploma n advance in acc 2yrs each comepare to most col 2.5yrs in diploma in commerce... tarc's advance in acc will get u lots of exemptions in acca papers, all u nid is to get a degree or straight to acca after the advance...
from advance to degree u most probably get exempted from year1 n 2, so u nid to complete yr3 degree... but this exemption depends on subs n uni.
i'm not advertising for tarc, but is the same paper u get exemptions from acca papers instead of entering private colleges with quite some high expenses in tuition fees especially in degree.

let see here:
diploma + advance =4yrs...
foundation/matriculation + degree = 4yrs

if money is not the issue, i suggest u go for aus degree in commerce which link u to CPA after u graduate uni. getting cpa is much easier than acca... thats my perception though...

anyway, all the best to ya career~

oh this is sooooooo subjective .
Do you think you are good in studies? If you think you are ,then high chance lo , since you are confident haha.
But if average ppl , lecturers always say that hardwork can bring you through , but maybe there a few bumps.

haha thanks.what is the average time normally people need to complete ACCA? (CAT route)

according to " plan " or u call " average time " - 3 yrs ( which i dun think many can achieve , since pass rates normally are below 50% ,u can check acca website)
let me explain .
1 sem = 6 months
I hope I m not outdated ..

CAT - 1 sem 5 papers (t1-t5) , 1 sem 4 papers(t6,t7,t8,t9/t10) = 1 year CAT DONE , if u pass all .

ACCA - 1 sem 3 papers (F4 F5 F6) , then F7 F8 F9 , then P1 P2 P3 , then 2 papers out of 4 papers (P4 P5 P6 P7).

so = 4 sems = 2 yrs.

hence u get CAT ( 1 year ) + ACCA ( 2 years ) = 3 years as PLANNED , yes if u pass all.

get ?

thanks alot
