i heard nanyang poly is the best choice so any pointers from u guyz?

any also can any one explain to me wads ACCA and the time and fees for taking up this course?i went to the website but they did not say anything about it? so any kind forumers guide me on this?

i know i ask a lot of questions but this concerns my furture so plz kind forumers i know u are all very very helpful people can u plz guide me?

TO ADD: wad other certs are avaliable for me other than ACCA which are more valued than a degree from ntu or smu?

I lived in Bukit Timah, so actually NP was nearer for me, but I choose SP instead, because, I thought: I may just end up working overseas next time, if, at some ang moh country, the employers can't even place Singapore on the map, how is Ngee Ann, Nanyang, or Temasek poly going to sound to them ? ...

a dumb reason some may think, but think about it ...

Yup. That was precisely the reason why I pick SP. SP brand name is unbeatable. But only SP and NP has my course so the obvious choice is SP. Very Happy

for me, I feel there's no difference in poly. I just choose the one nearest to me.

Cos if u confirm will be going for a degree after that, then any poly will do.

About ACCA. i heard about that too.. but dont have enough knowledge to talk about that. But i do have friends who went there after their degree to get a accounting cert.

I guess its just like in IT, there are skill certs that are more valued than degree itself..

Depends on what university also. If you are going to an overseas university, SP is better.

You gonna have a hard time there learning basic. I would suggest that you take up a science course in poly.

if your want to take accounting, don't go to any poly to take the course, it is a waste of time.

go to ACCA to take the accounting course, in 3 years time, a degree world recognise cert will be waiting for you should you manage to pass the exams swiftly and will not have to worry of which place don't accept your certificate anymore.

but be warned, its a bit expensive!!

I also feel that he think too much liao...if like that say....anything with the word "Singapore" is good?...geez...then PAP would love to have people like him....

people who apply overseas sometimes supply the overseas uni with their poly course syllabus details so as to help them make their admission decision...having the word "singapore" there wouldnt help much if the syllabus is like crap. Rolling Eyes

Overhyped.

Which poly I don't know. You just go to the respective poly websites to read their course structure. Alternatively, go to their open house next year.

ACCA is a professional accounting body, well-known worldwide. Most of their courses last for about one year or so, some more, depending on which course you took. I am not sure if you can apply for a course directly after your O Levels. Besides, you don't even take POA, that probably lowers your chance of getting in.

One very good source to know more about these courses is every Monday Classified Ads. There is a section on education, whereby the schools will advertise their courses. Go check them out. Usually around page 10 of the Classified Ads.
