'ACCA RECOGNISED TUTOR TRAINING ACADEMY' TO TRAIN MORE PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS

KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 (Bernama) -- The Association of Chartered Certified 
Accountants (ACCA) launched its first ACCA Recognised Tutor Training Academy with the 
appointment of Inspire Professional Academy (INSPIRE) as an independent training 
centre.

ACCA Asia Pacific Director, Leong Soo Yee said the initiative was an answer to the 
government''s call to train more professional accountants to support Malaysia''s 
progressive economy.

"We strongly believe it''s essential to have the right number and right quality of 
tutors to support the rapidly growing number of students wishing to study ACCA and 
become professional accountants," she said in a statement, today.

The ACCA Recognised Tutor Training Academy, which is ACCA''s first in the world, will 
set new standards in tutor training using a combination of online digital materials 
and face-to-face teaching.

Participants of this training programme will learn the teaching style and methodology 
for professional qualifications which required more strategic and practical 
application. 

Upon completion of the programme, they will receive certificates in recognition of 
their achievements, proving they have undertaken training to develop and teach 
students who will become professional accountants.

Meanwhile, INSPIRE founder Lee Sik Weng said the training centre was ready to groom 
more professional accountants for the programme.

"Developing tutors who already have the technical knowledge with practical 
application skills and know-hows will enhance the employability and increase the 
success rates of Malaysian talents," he said.

As a training center, INSPIRE will assist to develop and nurture lecturers and 
individuals to become effective teachers of the ACCA qualification.

Registration is now open for the first session of the ACCA Recognised Tutor Training 
Academy, which will begin in June. For more information, interested applicants can
