Yeah. You can do it in one year, especially since you're not working yet.

I regret doing ACCA part time while working. No time for anything else in between.

Since you're doing part-time, if you intend to attend for classes/tuition then you would have to do it after working hours or weekends.

Officially, work ends at 5.45pm and classes usually start at 6.45pm or 7pm. So you have to rush to the school or tuition provider after work, through the traffic and if you're lucky, you would either arrive early or just on time. That means no time for quick dinner.

Imagine, the fatigue and stress level after work and then you still have to listen to lengthy lectures ? Furthermore if you're hungry and worn out from driving and all.

Also, do you expect to be able to leave on time, all the time ? Just drop everything and leave ? You can't do that. Sometimes my colleagues are understanding and would allow me to leave on time but at times, I have no choice but to stay a bit longer to help out.

And then, imagine those classes on the weekends. Those are the worst. Imagine from 9am-5pm on one or both weekends.

Pretty much a sacrifice to get it done and over with as soon as possible. And force myself to psych myself positively to listen and concentrate during lectures.

Very true. Thats why if you are taking part-time. Just do 1-2 subjects max per sitting. If not you really can go crazy. If you want to complete it faster; advisable to quit your dayjob.
