Hi,
Can i ask here?

I dont have former accountancy background nor a solid education background. Interested in ACCA; after reading a lot (i think so) it seems ACCA is something that as long as you put in the effort, you will pass it.

a) should i take spent 20 months doing CIT then proceed on to ACCA? or just jump in ACCA full course?

b) Where can i take the course in Ipoh as part timer? I read and it seems the best option is in Kompas, i failed to locate the building after driving around based on the map; is the institution still available, any other recommended option?

it is still there, go straight from Yuk Choy Primary School, turn in left when you see the Esso petrol station then go straight. you will see Institut Kompas on your right

you don't have much option in Ipoh for part time ACCA class. i have to remind you that ACCA is not easy at all especially you don't have accounting background, i do see a lot of peoples stuck half way

ACCA is a tough course but if you have 100% commitment and determination to pursue religiously, then nothing should stop you from doing this course even if you dont have any accounting background . I only had pure science background but so far have completed 8 papers,waiting results for 2 papers with final 4 to be completed by June 2012 !

Hi mules

You don't really need accounting knowledge to study accounting per se, most ICAEW students aren't from accounting background.

A) You should take what you feel comfortable taking.

B) Why don't you come down to PJ/KL for your studies? There are more options in PJ/KL.

Its only a two hour drive from Ipoh minus traffic. I think that there should be some weekend classes where you can drive down in the morning and head back in the evening; usually these classes have 1 odd weekday evening class.

If you don't drive, you could try taking the KTM train down to KL Sentral and take a 1 or 2 stop LRT ride to a variety of colleges offering ACCA courses. Check for timetable regarding part-time courses to see if it suits you.

If you decide to study in Ipoh maybe Sunway could be an alternative.

Hope this helps.

I can't speak for everyone but prior taking ACCA I asked a friend of mine who has passed ACCA and working in EY, he said sometimes it's better when you don't have any accounting background. Somewhere in the syllabus, you might get confused.

Taking ACCA you really need to be hardworking and have high commitment.

argh guys! results are out Monday and the website says i'm not registered as an e-student, so i'm worried i can't get my results via e-mail. it's gonna be hard to access results through the web coz the rest of the world is gonna be trying too. anyone knows how to register as an e-student?

Im a Mr.Goh student for P1 and P7. All I can tell you is that all students who are in his hands are in good faith.A dedicated lecturer like no other.

too late, today is 20th already, closing date is 19th Aug.

dang. but my e-mail is the correct one and i did receive my results via e-mail for the last sitting. did you guys have to re-register or something? my friend is registered as e-student but i'm not. so weird.

nvm lah, worse come to worse fight to gain access into web on that day :|

If you have received your results via e-mail before then I don't think there will be any problem.

Last time I was not even opted into the OBU degree even when my exam results clearly stated the I was opted in.

Another 24 hours to go =(((

good luck everyone:)

All the best upon receiving your results tomorrow.

Whether you make it or not, you guys should walk tall & be proud of yourself because you all are sitting one of the toughest prof accounting exam.
