To join the ACCA qualification, a school leaver must have at least 2 A-Level passes and 3 O-Level passes but all in different subjects. 2 of these subjects should be English and Maths.

For learners who do not meet the above criteria, ACCA offers a suite of Foundation qualifications known as Foundations in Accountancy (FIA).

Completing the diploma level of FIA also enables a learner to become eligible to join the ACCA qualification and claim 3 exemptions from the first 3 papers of ACCA.

Learners with any other academic background can find more information at http://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/help/exemptions.html

You can register online with ACCA any time throughout the year and begin your ACCA journey. To register you need to fill out the registration form, upload your supporting documents and submit the registration fee.

ACCA comprises of 13 distinct exams and apart from the first 4 papers which are on-demand and can be taken at any time during the year, the body conducts 4 exam sessions in a year. Candidates can attempt a total of 8 exams in a year – so they can ideally complete the exams in around 2 years.

But candidates also need to complete 36 months of relevant work experience in an accounts or finance role, to become an ACCA member. This experience can be gained simultaneously while attempting the exams, so at a minimum, it will take a candidate 3 years to complete the qualification.

The qualification comprises of 15 papers in total split in different progression levels. Candidates need to only qualify 13 out of these to complete the exam requirements of ACCA.

The levels and associated papers are:

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE/ DIPLOMA IN ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS EXAMS

Business and Technology (BT)/ Foundations in Business and Technology (FBT)

Management Accounting (MA)/ Foundations in Management Accounting (FMA)

Financial Accounting (FA)/ Foundations in Financial Accounting (FFA)
