ACCA needs understanding, dedication, and hard work. ACCA being a professional course, many students get confused whether to go for regular college or not. They plan for Correspondence or distance learning.
It is commonly seen that students lack guidance & tend to take wrong decision under the influence of friends & family and then they regret their decision.
Opting for regular college or correspondence college with ACCA is a major career decision.
One should check all the pros and cons of opting or leaving regular college before reaching any conclusion.
Here, are some of the points which would help you in deciding whether to continue regular college or not:
1. Decide whether college is good or not
Now, your question will be “How to decide whether the college is good or not” or “What parameters should be considered”.
So, there are 3 major parameters-
Also, try to connect with the alumni of the college to get the correct & true information regarding the college. Check where the students are placed, what they are doing etc. Try to connect with the maximum number of pass outs of the same course.
Lastly, go through the placement report of the college for the past few years.
Regular Colleges have plenty of advantages which one should consider. Have you ever thought why many students go for regular college despite being enrolled in other courses? So, let’s see what are the advantages of regular college:
1. Personality Development

You also get a chance to participate in various events, fests, competitions which will help in your personality development.
The regular college also helps in improving your presentation skills & communication skills.

Being in a regular college is anyhow going to equip you with additional skills to showcase in your portfolio.
Almost every day you will be working on Google tools like Google Sheets or Google Docs which will help you polish your excel and writing skills.
