Common Questions

Here are answers to questions prospective students ask most often about our budget analysis programs.

  • What software tools do you teach?

    We focus primarily on Excel for budget analysis, as it's the most widely used tool in Malaysian companies. Students also learn basic SQL for data extraction and Power BI for visualization. All software training is practical and project-based.

  • Do I need an accounting background?

    Not necessarily. While accounting knowledge helps, we've designed the program to accommodate various backgrounds. About 40% of our students come from non-finance roles like operations, marketing, or project management.

  • How much time should I expect to invest weekly?

    Most students dedicate 6-8 hours per week to coursework and practice exercises. This includes attending sessions, completing assignments, and working on projects. The time commitment is designed to fit around full-time work schedules.

  • Are classes conducted in person or online?

    We offer both formats. In-person sessions happen at our Kota Bharu location, while online classes accommodate students from across Malaysia. The curriculum and quality remain identical regardless of format choice.
