Uzbeks doing ACCA in the UK

[Nozanim]

Hi! are there any uzbeks or not uzbeks who is doing ACCA in the UK? I am sure there are. I just recieved my registration pak with exemptions for first 3 papers, so I am starting from F4. I am looking for place where to study. According my researchs BPP and Kaplan are appropriate but expensive others cheaper but I have no idea if I could pass my exams with them.
I really need good advice. Thank you!

I wanted to study for acca aswell but decided to leave it for a year. I read about this schools on rupoint.co.uk. It is very good forum with lots of info.

I found lots of colleges but as far as i know ,"If you really want to study", this two colleges are the best choice. Teaching quality is much better comparing to others. In open days , i was really impresses with BPP. Kaplan was good aswell but looked a little bit unprofessional.

FTC is the best and cheaper than BPP. Ј400 per paper, its not too bad!

Why don't you do MSc in Accounting and get a work permit within a year? ...ACCA is really hard! You can only take 3 papers at the time and all this 3 papers are super hard! it will take you forever to finish it...

Do you really think so? Can I just so easily get work permit if I will get MSc in Accounts? Have you got it? Plz reply ASAP as I have to make dicission.

[Nozanim]

No.. I just looked through prices again.. I can not afford it without getting schoolarship.. Its too expensive for overseas students. I have 10 years for doing my ACCA thats the advantage isnt it? I have my time..
Hamid, what is new from HSMP information did you find any solution?

Hi there! It's true that u can get a work permit for 1 year upon completion of your BA, BSc, MA, MSc according to the recent immigration law changes. But this rule doesn't work retrospectively, i.e. it applies to graduates that completed their degrees after this law came to power.
So you don't have to have any doubt that someone can or cannot get work permit, provided they are eligible for it.

I study in BPP and think it's a decent school to study accounting. They are expensive, but hey, they are 30 years in financial training and teaching. And also their study materials, classes, and technology are very good. Almost all colleges in UK use BPP published books for ACCA in CIMA.

As an international student it is mandatory to take 3 papers in one go for visa purposes, though some of my indian classmates took up to 4 papers in one go and passed all 4 papers in last June exam sitting. (maximum of 4 papers u can take in any 6 months, limitation by ACCA body)

"...all this 3 papers are super hard!" I agree they are super hard! :(

Full-time studying and full-time working will be extremely difficult.

[Nozanim]

Bpp charges £800+ for each paper + exam fees if you r taking 4 papers its 3800 for 6 months and if you r fail in any of papers you have to pay full amount again. In this case MCs in accounts look more reasonable..
Dont you agree Eastender?

Go to the above link and check the prices for level 2 ACCA , £570 per paper, if you go to an open day and enrol there u can get 10% discount,
meaning if you take 3 papers in June 08 sitting and next 3 papers in December 08 sitting, 6 papers in total a year, not bad, it'll cost you £570x6 = £3420 - 10% = £3078.
If you intend to sit exams in June 2008, you must register with ACCA by 31 December 2007, do not forget.

And any university degree course in UK, AFAIK costs min £ 8100 and MSc probably even more.

That link above, u have to type all together, it's just I'm not allowed to post links here.

i would agree with doing MSc in Accounting; IT IS much easier to get a Masters Degree rather than finishing your ACCA. I am telling you from my own experience...

Two of my friends have graduated from UK unis this year and have recently got their work visas for one year.

Good luck!

Did you hear about new ACCA qualifications?


Dear Student

With the introduction of the new ACCA qualification, all ACCA trainees (students and affiliates) are now required to make an annual practical experience requirement (PER) return to ACCA, confirming their progress towards achieving the PER.
You are encouraged to make your 2007 annual PER return to ACCA by the end of January. This will enable your progress towards achieving the PER to be reflected in your February Examination Results and Status Report. However, you will still be able to make your 2007 annual PER return to ACCA up to 31 March 2008. If you are unable to make a return for 2007 by 31 March 2008 you will still be able to include all of the experience you have achieved to date when making your 2008 PER annual return. This will be available for online submission from 1 April 2008. Going forward, you should ensure that you make at least one PER return to ACCA in each calendar year.
Top ten questions and answers

To help you with any questions you may have about PER we have published the answers to the ten most frequently asked questions on the ACCA website. Please take the time to read these and visit the resources available on the website.

Does everyone of you who do the ACCA are working in accounts environment??

[quote=Nozanim;896486]Otkliknites kto nibud! Kto nibud kto uje zakonchil ili zakanchivaet ACCA qualifications.

ACCA is much better than BSc or MSc in Accounting, most employers are looking for people with ACCA or CIMA qualifications. Its hard but well worth it! Even after completing ACCA part 2 you can get a Work Permit.

I don't know, you need to be really really focused and take your studies seriously otherwise it will take you forver to complete ACCA.

Go for MSc girl, get a work permit --> British Passport--> And chill. I couldn't go for MSc cause I diidn't have BSc, but if you have one, don't waste your time.

I hope u've passed your F1 paper by this time, if not then practise, practise and again practise, use your Practice and Revision Kit. Preferably sit the paper exam not CBA, because if you don't get a good grip on the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cashflows then you will have a difficulty with further paper F7 which is Financial Reporting. (completely statements paper).
Trust me on this my friend.

To submit PER return you may choose the option of fulltime study. You probably know this already.
How exactly does PER affects ACCA exams results? (just curious)

So far I don't know any uzbek who is either ACCA affiliate or member.
BPP doesn't help to place you into some internship or so, that's for sure trust me I was with them for 3 bloody years.
Yesterday I found out that FTC KAPLAN does assist students with work placement, but it will cost £ 600, and you would have to work for free.
To find a job isn't easy, but possible.

Not submitting PER probably will affect your ACCA exam results, but still I doudt it.

Ring ACCAGLOBAL on 01415822000 to reconfirm, preferably after 11pm, yes they are open at that time and it's not busy.


I need help with F5 Performance Managment has anyone passed it?
Please help!

From one point really easy and straight-forward paper, but 60% writing and 40% calculations makes it challenging. I still have to attempt this paper.

All the best guys !

[EastEnder]

Uzbeks studying ACCA in UK !

Which colllege are you studying in ?

What papers are you intending to take this time?

I will try to take 4 papers this time all of them resits F5, F7, F8, F9.
More likely will study in FTC this time, moving from BPP. (reason, it's cheaper in FTC) . But still don't fancy FTC's study materials (books) they don't look professional.

If anyone studying or studied or has any knowledge about FTC KAPLAN tutor's quality and approachablity, please share it.

IMHO, you may attend the best and most expensive courses in the world, but this will not give you any advantage unless you "work" very hard on yourself. For myself 3 months of home study (1-2 hrs/day) is enough to pass 2-3 papers per session.

i passed 8 exams most by homestudy only with bpp study materials. So far not a single fail.Starting prof.level this session. 5 more left, hoping to finish with exams and get a BS Honors degree by the end of this year.

I'd say NONE as far as know Uzb-stan still has not applied full IFRS standards and you will still have to study for their qualification CPA or something.
As matter of fact, I recall funny thing about accounting standards in Uzb-tan, one quazi-governmental organization was helding 10-year old analog mobile phone in its safe. Its book value was USD 1000, and was not in working condition as there were no analog GSM operators already. When asked why he did not write down the value of this obsolete item (according to IAS there is a clear need to recognize an impairment loss/or to do revaluation), chief accountant told me there needs to be a liquidating group of at least three people set up and at least 2-3 min wages to be paid for. But it real market value was close to nil. That is why it was still carried out in the balance of that organization. Useless item of PPE in the safe.

Hi to everybody doing ACCA in the UK!

You have chosen a difficult but worthwhile route to boost your professional career. Having become an ACCA Affiliate now, I hope you will concentrate and give your best to pass each exam and become a member soon.

It won't be easy couple of years, but you will reap the rewards till the end of your life, Inshaalah!

Never give up whatever happens, becaus you are either qualified or not. There is not such a thing as part-qualified, the term is used as long as you can pass ALL the exams.

So good luck!

[registoni]

I just did passed P1, P2 and P3!
Only have left with 2 papers - P4 and P6 and after that no more studies :)
