    Hellooo there smile.gif

    Who is the "best" P6 lecturer in Dublin? (not for the main class, only for revisions)
    I'd need to make a choice... confused.gif

    Any opinions (based on you past experience)?

    Cheers

    Daffo

    Eamon Staunton in Griffith Colleges is brilliant. Definitely themost organised lecturer I've ever had and he does loads of past questions for practice. P6 is a fecker of a paper though!!

    Brilliant :). 2nd good opinion...Sounds promising

    I know P6 is a ************ but I wanna stay away from P4 and P7... not many choices left then...

    Clogsworth: can I ask you if you passed first time?

    I also heard about the lecturer in Independent Colleges but I read somewhere his method was a bit "special'. I dont know how special though. Did anyone attend his classes?

    I went to Independent for P6 for June exam and failed :(

    He had been recommended by a friend.

    I hated every lecture. I thought it was just me, but a lot of people in the course felt the same.

    He was completely unorganised, we were given one book at the start which covered the basics from the previous exam and from then on there were handouts which were full of mistakes. When he tried to do examples in class he kept making mistakes. Most people in the class just gave up hope and decided on concentrating on their other subjects, some didn't even sit the exam.

    By far the worst lecturer I have had to date, really disappointed because I think Independent are great but will not be doing a revision course with them for P6 for this year.

    Looks like it will be GCD

    Couldn't agree more strongly about Eamon Staunton, it's a few years ago now since I had him, but he and Liam Doran (now of Independent colleges) were by far the best lecturers I've ever come across. Both do loads of exam questions, taking a class with either of them is money well spent IMHO.

    Yes I passed first time by the skin of my teeth, 52%, but a pass is a pass so i was happy so long as I didn't have to sit it again! If your working in audit P7 isn't actually that difficult because its what your working at all day anyways, but the lectures are so boring!
    But if your sticking with P6 definitely go for Eamon Staunton, he'd be hard to beat. When i did the lectures I overheard people giving out about the lecturers in independent & BPP for tax but I dont know who they are. All my friends in work all went to Eamon too and I've never heard a bad word about him. he's very approachable too if your stuck on anything!

    Unorganised? :eek: No I don't need that... I'm disorganised enough myself...
    I wish there was somebody like Julie Hawkins (DBS - F6) for P6... I'd probably be an affiliate by now... :rolleyes:

    Thanks folks for your suggestions :)
    I might go for GCD then
    TBH I wouldnt've thought about this college at all. Glad I asked for your opinions.

    Who did you study with when you failed it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 Daffod


    [Who did you study with when you failed it?[/QUOTE]

    D.Clancy in DBS. Completely useless. Often absent. Course notes very poor. Past exam questions were not updated (he said we should do that ourselves). Revisions where there was no question practice. Ended up buying ACCA books from another school some time before the exam (fed up of waiting for a sort of 'miracle'. Not only me: some of my classmates did the same. The books we had got at the beginning were books from the Irish taxation institute. Not for ACCA). Complete opposite of Julie Hawkins.
    I think that's it. :D
    I don't think he was committed enough (unacceptable for such a tough paper... And the examiner dont make things any easier).

    1st paper I fail.
