Hi all! I recently got my A levels results, didn't do well so i may not get into the local unis in singapore. applied for uniSIM and SIMGE too but heard that competition is stiff there haha so dont really have very high hopes. am a girl btw.

anyway! i wish to be an auditor/accountant in future and in the event I dont have a degree, which course should i take? I've heard about ACCA, SQP, LCCI in the forums but am really confused on what is the best/shortest route to take? for both auditor and accountant.

thank you in advance! please PM me for ANY advice or just tag me or something. am really lost during this period of time :(

Hi,

Anyone of you here completed your F1 to F3. Did ACCA mail any hard copy for the certificate for ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business. Can request for hard copy if ACCA only email soft copy?

How to let the employer see if there's no hard copy? It's quite important for me because I have no diploma only higher nitec in accounting. Just want to confirm before I take ACCA. At least I have something to show the employer when I want to change job to show i have upgrade myself.

TIA!

acca used to mail the certificate long ago.

now when you complete f1-f3, the cert can be downloaded in the portal. if you want hard copy, must pay acca to send it to you.

good luck.

ACCA>ACA>CA still applicable?

Havent enrol into ACCA, waiting for NS.

or is it better to get a degree(Unisim, SIM,SIT) then proceed to SQP after graduation?

Consider number of years and expenses( including membership fee for life)

Hi,I need advise. I want to take ACCA courses and seems like I can be exempted 4 papers which are F1-3 and F9. Is it ok that I exempted myself from these papers and attend revision classes will do before moving on to take F4? Or I should just proceed to take F4 straightaway?

Hi,

The thread seem quiet. Now lesser people taking ACCA?
Anyone can advise which lecturer is better for Lsbf or Kaplan? Have a hard time choosing. Their July intake timetable is not out yet so not sure the lecturers will be the same?
For F1 paper , it's ok to self study or go for revision class only? The paper all all mcq?
Lsbf - F2 & F3 Ghan Shyam Dubey
Kaplan - F2 Mikki Ng, F3 Kelly Ngo (Anyone heard of them, are they good?)

Which school is better for course notes and revision kits, past years papers? Both has online notes if in class can't manage to take down notes? Can't use the skillsfuture credits?

TIA!

F1 can read Bpp text book
F2/3 can self study as well.

I took ghan classes in LSBF. Personally don't like his professionalism. Late for classes, gives long breaks (15-30mins). Not value for money if you consider the actual amount of time teaching. Expensive too. However can understand quite well from his teaching. You can ask him questions after class but don't bother email/message him as he doesn't reply.

Colleagues from Kaplan and have said their classes start and ends on time, give 10-15mins break.

Would say the Teachers at Kaplan are more professional as even one of my current teacher at SAA starts 20 mins late and gives 45 mins break 🙃

I was one of his part time student as well.

However i must say he is quite good at his teaching. I understand his concepts well and for very foundation modules, i dont think there is a need for the classes to be fully utilised (i rather have longer breaks and leave class earlier) xD

i scored 92 and 94 for f2 and f3 respectively :)

Thanks! can get the bpp interactive text or practice kit from kinokuniya? kaplan, lsfb or bpp which notes are better?
Hmm..actually if I can only reach the class by 7pm. If he late it's still ok for me if I didn't miss any lesson from starting. Just want to see which lecturers teach better easy to understand and can ask questions after class or email and most important can pass with good grades.

Can't comment about other Lecturers as I only took ghan for f2 and F3. He teaches well and clear. I doubt you will miss much comin in at 7pm as he more than often starts at 7pm. If you are under him, LSBF notes are sufficient already if you are attentive in class. Also it depends on your effort. I scored really well for both papers, but my classmates just average.

Do the revision questions ahead of the revision class. So that you can ask him if you're unsure. His pace is slow so he can't finish going through all questions in class. You have to take extra effort to prepare in advance. You can ask questions after class. He won't run away (unlike one of my SAA lecturer.. :s22: )

With regards to BPP, I know kinokuniya sells them. But if you don't mind soft copies, online has all of them latest version for free. :D
