ACCA - Griffith, DBS, Independent or BPP??

Are you talking about full time or part time? I think that it's the lecturers reputation which counts more than the school. People will often do one exam in one place and another exam in another place based on where the best lecturer is based. Have a look back through this forum, there are quite a few discussions about who to go to for each subject.

I've just completed F 2, 3 & hopefully 5 in Griffith College on the South Circular and F4 in BPP Lad Lane. Have to say definitely preferred Griffith, parking is very handy and lecturer for F3 and F5 were brilliant too. The guy for F5 (performance and business management) is in particular very good, hes one of the directors of Griffith. BPP use their own notes as opposed to the Kaplan ones and i felt these were inferior, although i was doing law. My Griffith revision course was in the new irish times building near westmoreland street and thought this was great too.

That sounds about right i think, i did part-time there and was bout 600e i think, the job paid so i'm not sure!... If your starting from the beginning the first 3 are definitely achievable in one go, you should note too that these 3 are all multiple choice exams too. I'd imagine if you're not working and fairly organized u shud be able to pass 3 at a time not a bother, altho i'm only at the beginning of my exams so it may get more difficult as u go through them.

I assume you can F 1, 2 & 3 together. Travist, i did the irish variant of Law and it's a pain in the fulte!!... It's based on the english one. Tbh i can't see there being a huge amount of difference coz most of the cases were english anyway. It is a difficult exam tho i can confirm that.

Edit: I have heard that F1 is very easy and more of a money making act, I got exempt from it and i'd never done any accountancy before!

Griffith is very good in my opinion.

P1 lecturer got me 1st in Ireland
P2 lecturer very good
P3 very good - immensely boring subject
P7 - good
F7 very good
F8 good.

Who'd you have for f7, thinking bout doing it there?

Hey bit late in replyin, not a regular here. I have done F1-F5 and F8 so far. The funny rules F1 after F2 and F3 only apply to mature students me thinks. I took 2 modules per semester and done F1 and 2 first. F1 is a bit of a money maker not much too it, would consider doing it at home if i was funding it myself. They(F1,F2,F3) are mutiple choice yes and as far as I remember yea you have to pass F1 before F4 but this is doable if you wish to do four exams in the same semester by sitting CBE(Computer Based Exams) for F1(also avail for F2 and F3 - mightnt be as adviseable for F2 and F3 as they involve some maths n it can be time consuming doin the workings on paper n then switching to computer to submit results but everyones different. CBE gives a more flexible timetables as they are offered more regularly and can be sat at different collleges than where you study if neccessary to give time between each exam for some cramming.Also immediate results means if ya pass F1 can do F4 paper based in the Dec sitting.
Oupies that was a bit rambling but mayeb it'll help.....
