    Hi there,

    I'm looking for some advise on which uni/lecturer to attend for F9 ACCA in Dublin. This is the first exam I'm sitting and have been out of study mode for quite a few years - any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I've given up using colleges, at least for F exams as it's simply a rip off everywhere. Get yourself a text book and practice and revision kit and you'll be better set.

    Thanks - I know - its very expensive. I've been trying do it with online learning but need the discipline of a class to get me back into it I think as not making much progress

    That was long my thinking on it, especially as work was paying 75% of it. However, I found that the quality of teaching was so bad that I ended up skipping lectures anyway, especially for Champions League nights.

    I did F1-F7 in Independent Colleges on Dawson Street (now Accountancy School on Westmoreland Street) and it was literally 3 hours of plodding through example after example after example. No teaching the syllabus, it was coaching on how to get enough marks to pass the exam.

    I realised very quickly after I started ACCA that all these professional bodies and their licensed education providers are largely a shower of cowboys. Always have to bear in mind that these places are a business seeking to make a profit, they are not educational institutions.
