ACCA enquires

[taywk26]

Hi
i have been reading the acca thread for some time, and have some simple qns.

1) how do i go about register for acca? is it thru the acca website or the tution provider eg saa/ kaplan? also, can i go down and register instead of applying online? can i apply anytime or do i have to follow the register intake date?

2) the acca 10 yrs limit means applicable only just for the 14 paper exams? Or all the exams, 36 monts experience and inclusive of the 13 objective?

3) i just completed my diploma recently, though haven't got my cert yet, probably in late april- mid may, but i want to apply acca in the coming week, well, i know for non-accounting diploma can only start from the f1 paper onwards, say if i were to apply next week, will they consider me as only o lvl cert and let me take the foundation-level qualifications which is meant for o lvl, or will they be kind enough to let me proceed from the f1 paper onwards, knowing that i graduate from local poly but just havent got my cert yet?
i want to start acca asap, so i dont want to drag long...

4) last qns is when applying online for acca, that this exam entry procedure which i have to choose when (june or dec), how do i know when to book for my exam when i need an rough estimation to know how long to study for the test? and i tot booking exam is thru the tuition providers eg kaplan/stf/saa?

anyone/ seniors can help me with these? i try searching ans from the hwz for acca thread or the acca website, but cant seemed to find the ans i need, any help is appreciated greatly...

dont want to take cmfas already ? the other time suggested for you to start acca but you said too early to start as you have to go ns...

register at acca website anytime you want. in my opinion now too late for you to start. the exam is in june first two weeks. the early bird discount to enter for exams already over, expensive to enter exams registration already. not sure how committed to study from now till june. also depends on how many papers you wanna do and mode of study. i.e. take class or self study

if you intend to go CA in future, then i think ACCA is no longer the best choice.

Hi hymnody,i am still intending to take up, its just that there is no point in me taking up now, as there is expiration if one is not in the banking industry for 3 yrs. i decided to change my mind to take acca now as i think i saved plenty of money to pay for acca.

so uh, i can go down to the acca institute to register anytime, but exam wise, i have to register for the dec? i am intending to take part time night & weekend classes.

Any input for the rest of the qns asked earlier?
