Is it true?
Which INTI is he based in?

i think 13 class only-(for mco)
i really want more class

Michael has a special note that summarise entire P3 syllabus in (70 - 80 pages).
He is teaching the "western style" of lecture which focus on 1 key word & 5 explanation instead of the asian style of 5 key word & 1 explanation.
Heard he is very good in teaching technics / answer methods of P3 to student.
Anyway I always like to try a "Mat Salleh" lecturer at least once in my acca course.........just to experience something new

Added on June 14, 2009, 9:43 pmThen I think you will like parmindar class.
My friend who sat for it reported he had 35 class sessions this sitting.
Anyway nobody really like to spend so much of their time in KSA, trust me on this issue

well if you want to go for 35 classes and study everything and waste your time than try him . But why study hard but rather we need study smart . so better go for INti

hello,
i wanna ask,

is Michael Mainwaring only teach in McOrange?
and can someone please help me with the McOrange schedule
it is damn confusing
what is the special group all about? any hidden meaning there?

anyone have been in his class before?
is he able to finish everything? i see his lecture class compare to the others made me freaked out
and what is really in P3?
is he good for ACCA exam purposes? his tips/hints accurate?


if he is something like Philip Woo then i would choose him instead of Parminder
i know Parminder likes to repeat stuff when in P1
is it because Michael do not repeats thats why the lecture class is lesser?

INTI Subang timetable 4 Michael P3 (full-time) at www.acca-success.com . The classes are less than normal, suppose Michael has been teaching 4 many many years. He focuses in the teaching, no repeats and no waffles. Mentioned in the website that seats are limited.

Even if Perminder given 35 class sessions this sitting, but he talked the majority of all..........??????? Orz.....

He dont actually teach in Mco, its just that Mco helps him to facilitate the lecturer administration like collection of fees & registration. For example he is not their full time staff & he doesn't teach at the Mco centre. I think there is an alliance between Mco & London college of accountancy in which some of the UK lecturer will come once a while to lecture (Steve Lumby will be another example).

Ok for first timers it will be confusing so I will discuss it one short for others :
NC or normal class will teach for a period of 3 months & IRC or revision class will cover 1 month class.
Special group means he combine all his class (no part time or full time). I think its something like a seminar which he may teach more than 3 hours.

I think there are quite a number of student who can share his revision class experience but very few on full time classes.
Actuall I manage to bump into a girl (ok la big sister since she is few years older than me) claimed she had attend his full time class b4.
Michael did once lecture full time in MYS few years ago, he came to asia (personal problem) & at the same time teach P3 due to convenience.
Since you dont know what is P3 yet I will skip this after explaining P3 first.

What is P3 ?
Is basicly like a fraction of MBA paper or business administration stuff. The whole syllabus focus on the "business sense" of student which is also important in paper P7 audit. Basicly you cannot really score well by just study rigorously. You need some common sense & good general knowledge & perhaps practical experience too (but I doubt many will have the chance to become a boss or management executive).
Very few obligatory knowledge but more on voluntary ones. What I mean is that you will only need to learn very few areas but understand a lot of concepts & framework.

For example, Qs on = Criteria of a successful european restaurant in asia pacific region ?
Practical example : Quote whatever you have learned / experienced : Good chef, atmosphere.....etc
Theory : Quote 7S or Value Chain system .......
General knowledge : Location, cost, service....(just bluff all the way through)

In terms of accurancy of hints & tips he is considered an expert (80% to 100% accuracy) but in professional paper even if you know what are being tested answer may be very different depending on the case scenario given.

Now comes the part of comparison :
Michael : He will teach ONE model / framework / structure / format for each type of question. Then he will elaborate based on that key word.
Parmindar : He will teach SEVERAL model..... for each type of question. Key pointer will be emphasised rather than explanation.
Both approach is accepted but you will find some students will have different preference for each methods.
There is really no perfect lecturer, it just depend on what you are seeking, if you :
1) If you have powerful brain for analysis then you can absorb all the jumble up knowledge of parmindar (Parmindar is not systematic)
2) If you want a direct & simple approach in tackling P3, michael will be perfect (heard from friend his methods is very simple to comprehend but you will need to come up with your own explanation since he will only provide you with guidelines)

Anyone who took P2 under Mr Yap Kok Wah can give some comments on his teaching?

Pros :
1) FCCA lecturer (a lot of experience)
2) Teach the calculation portion of P2 quite well
3) Small class size making studier more comprehensive

Cons :
1) Examples used in explaining standard can be confusing at times (to certain people)
2) "Not so good" handwriting.

What do you mean by his standard explanation can be confusing at times? Can give some examples?

Since he had the experience he will use practical examples to illustrate some of the standards.
One thing I notice is that practical experience is strictly less useful in P2 compared to other papers because practical always deviate from the theory sense. My P2 lecturer constantly lecture on the difference of examiner requirement & practical differences.
I have not attended his class before so I cannot quote any direct examples.
What I have been telling you is the general feedback from students.

Hello!

I am interested in taking CAT. However I am not sure where to go. Sunway area is definitely out of the question. I only know KSA and Orange. And I do not know which lecturers are good. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I know my friend pass under Michael . She quoted his tips is quite accurate. Exam questions is similar with revision questions & answer provided.

Actually CAT is not difficult, so you no need to find good quality and experience lecturer. If you don't have financial difficult, then you can consider Sunway for CAT since it provide good study environment. If you prefer study with low cost, then KSA should be better for you.

For good lecturers, when you study ACCA, then baru talk la!

Studied in Sunway before. Thanks for the tip tho.

spencer cheah is good . as mentioned before each lecturers have their own strength.
heard he too may leave ftms soon . ftms better keep all the good lecturers before they join competitors.

any way spencer is from kedah i think .he travels to ftms weekly

Thanks for the website. I just saw that INTI subang has 2 lecturers teaching P3- Mr Michael Manwaring and Mr Marcus Ong. Heard Mr Marcus was from Sunway and now he is in subang. My friends said his class is always interesting and very systematic answer exam questions. Also got Mr Parminder - heard his lecture very detail woh. I like lecturer cover many past years questions as well. Gives a feeling of real exam way. Wah... many choices.

Maybe someone can share with me how to best study for P3? Heard its very tough. if can lah, someone who pass oredi yah
