Hi everyone... I have some questions here...

I currently finish diploma in TARC and i pass all my papers..
My CGPA around 3.3++ over 4...

I would like to ask,

1) should I proceed to advance diploma or taking outside at Kasturi?

2) advance diploma is 2 years.. Need go through internal papers and external papers within 2 years... Will be very stress and hard. But, if really pass all internal and external papers, then can complete ACCA. According to my results, if i take this will it be too risky??

3) If take outside at Kasturi, I will take as full timer.. I think i left 9 papers for ACCA. Already exemption 5papers in diploma. According to my results, can i complete within 1.5 year to 2 years? And jus focus for external papers only...

4) Do not recommend to degree, because of financial problem..

5) what are the benefit and weaknesses for taking advance diploma in TARC AND taking tuition in Kasturi??



Please give some advises, provide the best recommend...
Will appreciated so much with all replies... thanks a lot...

A common misconception that many TAR students told over their course of study is that "Exempted" doesnt actually mean you "Passed" the subject. On paper you may look like passed but in substance you "may" not or may be. The truth is both are very different in nature.

Second is that you don't have to take all papers at 1 centre. You can choose based the lecturer that you preferred. Try to ask some of your TAR seniors that have followed similar route before.

The option you mentioned I notice a recurring theme which you try to stress which I think is the "safety net". You are worried that if you cannot progress you will end up without a proper qualifcation if you take acca alone or you fear the stress level if take both ext and int.

In ACCA they recognize this problem by offering OBU degree student for those who has completed all funadamental levels (F4 to F9 in particular). You can finish that degree in 1 month or 2 in average. Grade will based on your average mark in acca plus project quality.

If I am not mistaken most of those that did advance diploma are offered a degree course for 3 mths in Uk or something ??? I am not sure but that is roughly what I heard in my friends discussion & you can take up that degree before attempting acca.

KSA environment is packed like sardin so its not that conducive but they do possessed some quality lecturers which requires no backing or support from large institutions.

About your capability to cope I cannot really judge unless you try out yourself. ACCA exams & style is very different from diploma from what most TAR students & friends told me. Hardwork alone may not be sufficient.

Then how do I know whether i get exemption for those papers or not??
I wanted to go outside take ACCA, and i will choose based on which lecturer is the best for the particular paper because study outside is more cheaper compare to TARC. At least can save monthly rental and bill water and electricity. But, I really scared I will regret. I will take as full time. As they said, ACCA are not easy.

However, if i take advance diploma, i still can get Advance cert even cant pass through ACCA. But quite waste time and costly.

Yup, you are right. Tarc are offered a degree course for 3mths in UK. But i doesn't consider about it because it is too costly.
ACCA exams & style how different from diploma?

If you are me, and you got only two options, you will choose continue at Tarc or come out take?
