Introduction
Our capacity to change lives through education is at the heart of everything we do, therefore we are proud to unveil a new pathway towards attaining an internationally recognized chartered accountancy qualification.
This ACCA program qualification carefully balances your development in practical and technical levels of proficiency in accounting. Your progress also extends to honing your behavior in a professional context โ with emphasis on your ability to understand the value of professionalism and ethics in effective management.
The qualificationโs structure and prestige also provide a wealth of options for graduates in their future careers, taking ACCA membership forward as an invaluable addition to your resume. Graduates will be able to consider positions in public and private sector financial management in areas such as auditing and taxation amongst others.
What will you achieve?
As a learner successfully passes each exam, they are eligible to gain a diploma issued by ACCA. Also, once a student successfully passes the last three papers in the Applied Skills level and passes the ACCA Ethics and Professional Skills Module, students will be eligible to submit a research analysis project (RAP) to Oxford Brookes University to earn the BSC Hons in Applied Accounting.
A student who completes all three Applied Knowledge, six Applied skills, and four Professional papers will become an ACCA affiliate. Once the learner gains 36 months of relevant work experience on top of clearing the 13 exams, the student officially becomes a member of the ACCA.
