"ahhhh ~ i am lost , i dont know what course to take , i dont know which college to choose . i have no idea , OMGGGGG >.<"
yiii ? sounds familiar ? yeah babe , everybody would have been through this right . . . i dont know what you guys really into it , so i might just tell you all about mine choice ^^
Like what stated in my profile , currently i am taking CAT in Sunway University College . what is CAT ? not the kitty cat XP is Certified Accounting Technician . CAT provides a comprehensive introduction to accountancy . For those who plan to pursue a career in finance or to gain an accelerated route to the ACCA qualification , take this =)
In another simple way , CAT is the foundation course for ACCA . For your info , both CAT and ACCA are professional paper , so thats not gonna be easy . Effort is essential , if you guys wish to play around and test your luck , go for another course . I am not scaring you or what , its all about pass and fail in CAT and ACCA . Pass you proceed , fail you retained . [ unofficially , we regards those student who fail and have to retain as TSUNAMI VICTIM ] okayy , its bad i know >_<
Once you fail a paper , you have to resit it . You can choose to attend class again or just self study . but one thing , to proceed to ACCA , you have to clear all your paper in CAT . Let me tell you this . . .
Papers to be attempt in CAT level :
Introductory Level
Paper 1 Recording Financial Transactions ( exempted if you got an A in SPM accounts )
Paper 2 Information for Management Control
Intermediate Level
Paper 3 Maintaining Financial Records
Paper 4 Accounting for Costs
Advanced Level

Paper 6 Drafting Financial Statements
Paper 7 Planning , Control and Performance Management

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now , lemmi briefly talk about the fees for this course . For the CAT paper i had paid twice , the 1st time around 6k not included exam papers fees . the 2nd sem i suppose to pay another 3k , but my scholarship had contra it , so basically the whole CAT is just around 10k . If i am not mistaken =P For ACCA , i have no idea actually . but i can tell you that the whole CAT + ACCA 's fees around RM30k ( excluded exam papers fees and ACCA subscription fees which paid in pound )
Therefore , this course is a not-so-bad option for those whose family are not so rich nor not so poor . This is the fastest way to earn back what you paid for the course in future . ^^
wish u all the best~ ;p

ReplyDelete@Kenwooi, ACCA is far from easy but not impossible, I've seen people getting their ACCA at young age of 18. So long as you have a logical thinking and do not mind doing some memorization ACCA could be a great course.
