KUCHING: Kolej Sunway Kuching recently organised a Train The Trainer (TTT) workshop for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) lecturers and an Examination Techniques Seminar for students.
Both sessions were conducted by Mr. Barry Hall, the Head of International Programmes, BPP Professional Education, United Kingdom, under the auspices of the Malaysia Professional Accountancy Centre (MyPAC). Established in January 2015, MyPAC is a non-profit organisation with the main objective of increasing the number of Bumiputera Professional Accountants in Malaysia.
Kolej Sunway Kuching is the only strategic partner of MyPAC in East Malaysia. The lecturers were briefed on changes to the ACCA programme and were given an overview of BPP’s tutoring techniques and approaches in lesson planning, classroom dynamics and revision planning.
More than 80 students from the college’s CAT and ACCA p ro g r amme s a t t end e d Mr. Hall’s Examination Techniques Seminar. The two sessions were very well received, with lecturers praising Mr. Hall for providing a fresh perspective on the teaching of professional courses and how they differ from conventional degree courses.
Feedback from the students were equally positive, with many students expressing greater optimism in passing their exams and urging Sunway to conduct more such sessions in the near future.
