I'd suggest CFA, or a good oversea MBA (not any MBA by lim&lim college)

I was an TARC student, so I can provide you with some information regarding TARC ACCA. Basically, your daughter will be able to catch up with TARC syllabus if she didn't have any accounting knowledge at all. Many students without accounting knowledge went and study accountancy. But then she will be able to determine the accounts entries better if she had studied accounting in secondary(that's what I got from my observation).

TARC doesn't offer CAT but the students will have to start with diploma. When she has completed her diploma, she will be able to get exemption for 5 papers. If she proceeded to advanced diploma, she will be able to gain exemption for all the fundamental papers. TARC fees are really cheap, around RMRM700++ to 1k++ per semester and if your daughter is smart with at least 9A's she'll get 100% scholarship. 8A's would get her 75% scholarship. Besides there are also Star and other scholarships. If she graduated from diploma with at least CGPA 3.85 she'll continue getting the 100% scholarship. The advantage of studying in TARC is that the fees are really cheap but the downside is not all the lecturers are good since we cannot choose who to follow. KL colleges have way better lecturers.

You can apply for PTPTN loan for TARC ACCA course. There are many other loans you can apply also.

Added on January 21, 2010, 11:54 pmHi again,anyone here can suggest me for scholarship and loan that will be available for CAT and ACCA courses? Most scholarship state diploma/degree in accounting but how about CAT and ACCA? PTPTN loan does not offer for these courses right?

thestar and sinchew offers scholarship for CAT and ACCA, you can find them in their respective papers. AFAIK, Sentral also offers a 30% discount on tuition fees as long as you get a certain number of As.

thanks.those scholarship offered by lets say The Star,is it full scholarship?

yes i think so. But you can only apply for that after your SPM results though.

i am considering whether to continue acca in tarc/sunway after my degree. do u know when is tarc intake dates? i cant find it in their web site. if u know den i can save my phone calls. lolz.

PR in this case I'm refering to Permanent resident, to get a PR in other country so don't need visa to stay

Err.. any of u ppl know where 2 take OBU?

OBU ? Do you mean Oxford Brookes University?

I believe it's a deal packaged in the ACCA programme, where you have to submit a project paper to OBU, then you'll be awarded a degree in Applied Accounting.

It took four years to complete ACCA in TARC. I saw the Star offers scholarship for CAT and ACCA for selected colleges such as KDU and PTPL if I am not mistaken.

For TARC, the Star scholarship is full scholarship for tuition fees with relatively low requirement I would consider. For other colleges, I am not too sure since their fees are much more higher.

I don't think you can continue ACCA at TARC after degree. You have to be their existing students in order to pursue the P papers at TARC Advanced Diploma Year 2 if I am not mistaken. They are not like KL colleges where you can come and go as you like. Furthermore, you have a degree which is higher than an Advanced Diploma offered by TARC.

To get PR in another country is very hard especially europe since they have a bit of "domestic bias". The easiest route is via occupation with high contribution to the country itself. Sports maybe ?
If from acca point of view then you need to be some sort of specialist.

PT(Progress Test) for F4 will be held on next week, 3 weeks right after I started on this totally foreign subject to me!

Any tips/focus area for this particular paper?

dude, progress test is a totally internal paper! Anyway based on Ms Pushpa style, I guess there will be alot of contract acts

lol dude u guys from sunway also? din't expect to see the mention of ms pushpa lol

Ya, what about you? I'm doing P1 P2 P3. Cause here got alot of people from KL college.

Sunway students, majority once pay the fees, won't really bother about what's available outside. Because most of the ACCA students at Sunway who started from CAT are sort of 'loyal' and wants campus life, so they won't really move around whereas those at KL college are always on the look for cheaper and better options else where, and most of them are working already.

For TARC ACCA programme, you can see here:

IMO, it is NOT CHEAP! And it is not that good. My suggestion, go and take outside. They are really value for money.
