Well after some time analysing my students, I have come to the following conclusions about the students and tuition providers
About the students
1. 80% are the lazy last minute kind and 20% are the hard working types
2. REAL Studying only starts after the results have been released
3. Students want to have full attention from their lecturers but large classes can be intimidating
4. Students need real feedback regarding their performance
About the tuition providers
1. Spread the classes to achieve utilisation of space & lecture cost
2. Assume that students can absorb from day 1 of the class till the end
3. ACCA is a volume game, the more students the higher the profit - capping the student numbers is difficult.
This has led to the development of J Pro Business Training - solution for last minute type.
I belief that students should only study nearer to the exam, increasing the overall retention of materials studied - hence the training for the students only starts in September 2010
I also belief that students need to be guided and require focused attention by the trainer, hence there must be a limit to the amount of students being taught - quality of learning is enhanced when there is focus.
I consider weekly classes are tedious on the student as well as the environment. The amount of time used in travelling to and from the lecture locations could be better utilised in self-studying and relaxation - hence classes should be clustered into "block training" (4D + 4D) x 8 hours = 64 hours
Most of the students said that the revision is the most important aspect of the overall preparation process for the ACCA examination - hence revision should be packed to the maximum (3D x 9 hours)= 27 hours
I am currently establishing the training centre in Kemuning Utama area - near the new KFC, this should take another 1 month. Once that is completed - this semester I will be offering P3 and P7 as the initial papers. For the June 2011, I should be getting the centre registered with ACCA and offering the F5 - P7 range of papers, as well as the CAT papers.
Hope my former students can spread the word and be supportive of this venture. Thanks for you support in advance.
