Ask the Tutor ACCA LW

LW GLO or LW English dilemma

JEJin en4y ago
Hello, Good afternoon, need to ask you concerning my choice of LW GLO even I am doing the PER in an English/International Corporation based in London, somehow I may find the international trading information more suitable for Corporation purpose? would you please let me know your opinion or advice? After watching your video referring to the LW GLO and LW UK since definitely, I start feeling that I may have to change to the UK variance ?? pls help out thanks very much

Now there's a good question! I imagine that your work-place experience will teach you more about the niceties of global law relevant to your employment than my over-view lectures and notes could provide you with My gut reaction to your question is that you should approach the exam simply witn a view to taking a hurdle on your way to achieving the qualification By the time you've successfully passed the 5 papers at the advanced level, you will likely have forgotten much of what you will have known at the time you were taking the law paper So the choice in my mind is 'Which is the more "fun" paper, Global or English (there's no Law UK paper!)?'' From my own personal preference point of view, I would select English variant.. And, of course, there is the added benefit that, should you change course in your career choice, you would still be better qualified to maybe even take on employment as a UK qualified (and therefore able to practise) Certified Accountant Hope that helps

Dear Sir appreciated very much your reply absolutely enhancing version of the LW indeed for sure I am at the Hurdle in my way to achieving or passing the five papers required And again certainly think that GLO LW may be more useful rather than the LW English variant ?? in some International Corporation working environments??

Clearly, it's your choice. I would have thought that you would learn sufficient of the every-day elements of Global law simply from your work environment and in-employment training. That being the case, it could also possibly be assumed that the Global variant would prove 'easier'; for you. To be honest with you, I can't just how much of the global material will be of any real relevance to your employment situation whereas the practicalities of your work experience will be of 100% relevance And as for knowledge for the future, it's most improbable that any of the Law material learned at this level (first year university degree level) will be of much assistance in your future career as an international player Whichever you choose, I'm here to answer any questions that are raised in your studies of this paper I'm not sure that this has helped ... but I hope it has
