Very informative thread but too long to read some of the dispute. Here's my dilemma so hopefully someone with experience can advise.

I am in my late 30s, holding a mid level managerial role. I am planning to do MBA, preferably one with accredition and support from EPF Account 2 withdrawals.

I am thinking to do MBA to help boost my career, I think it would. Why? Because I feel to move up in upper management, Degree may not be enough, especially one with average result.

I plan to do MBA part time as I am working with family commitments. I am currently looking at HELP MBA Online course, but need some comments. Other options for online distance learning works for me too as long as accredited minimally locally.

Appreciate some feedback. Thank you.

choose the best MBA offered. you only gonna do 1 MBA in your life.

MBA boost your career by making you more knowledgeable and see thing from all perspective.
Thus you in hope you can manage better; and the paper cert is kind of proof you have done the study.
But end of the day, it is still depend on your commitment to career, to your boss, and company you work with...

Yes, I am least worry about career commitments. We come from a very specific background and I am hoping an MBA will broaden my horizon to see things differently than what I know limitedly now.

Anyone with experience with MBA courses offered in Inti with Wollongong, Segi with USQ?

Hi mate,

Great to hear that you have the such plan to enhance your skills and knowledge. Before you make the decision, I need to give my advise to you before you enroll the MBA program. Please check my question in below and answer to yourself.

1. How much can you scarify for your time with family and personal time?
2. How well is your stress management if you would like to enroll the part time MBA?
3. How much money are you willing to invest for the MBA program?

All the questions in the above are what I am experiencing now. I am currently a final year (i.e. semester) part time MBA student in NUS (Singapore). What I want to share to you is that I had totally scarified all my personal time (e.g. annual leave, holiday, public holiday, happy hour, any kind of traveling trip) since I enrolled the MBA program about 2 years ago. If you are thinking that doing an MBA is easy, I can tell you that it is not. So, please think twice before enroll the MBA program.

The second question is quite critical, this is depends on your job nature. I am working as a Snr. Tech Consultant where I have to travel to difficult country almost 2 weeks a time. If your have a lot of traveling, please think carefully. For my case, I have to keep getting the approval from the school to not attending to the class. Although the school allow us to do that, but this is the huge lost for us as we miss the moment where everyone to work together as a team for certain projects and assignment. And this create a lot of pressure to me when I am doing my assignment as I miss the moment where I suppose to work with my coursemate.

The last question may not related to you. But if you are looking for a reputable MBA program, the fees is not cheap. For me, this question is also one of my stress coming from as it is really pricey.

Note: Please forget it if you are just looking for an online MBA program as it deviate the main purpose of how the MBA program should deliver to the student.

Hope this can helps you. Good Luck and enjoy learning.
