Let’s face it, Study courses are similar in nature and accounting is no exception, considering that the subject contents are by large similar, to facilitate continuity and avoid repetition and duplication of knowledge acquisition,a candidate pursuing a particular Accounting course is normally allowed to apply for “exemptions” in the subjects that are deemed equal in terms of content and depth of coverage. So if you are looking for a “short cut” to a professional qualification, then just read on.
This article is inspired by the growing number of search queries this website has been receiving from “prospecting students” looking for information on ACCA exemptions, the Syllabus and how they can get started with the ACCA qualification.
“ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the largest and fastest growing global professional accounting body with over 296000 students and over 115000 members in 170 countries, with the aim to offer the first choice qualification to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in Accountancy, Finance and Management.”
Coming back to the main question. What is the shortest possible way to start your Accounting career with ACCA? From the available information, ACCA offers various entry points onto its qualification depending on your previous academic qualifications though the minimum requirements are that you
must have 2 A levels and 3 GCSEs or equivalent in five separate subjects including English and Mathematics and a minimum age of 18 and above.
Alternatively, you can also register with ACCA in one of these two ways if you don’t meet the minimum entry requirements.
Mature Student Entry Route(MSER)
If you are 21 years and above, the mature student entry is the right route to take and if you don’t have any other formal academic qualification, you can choose to start with the Certified Accounting Technicians (CAT) qualification first and then transfer to the skills module of ACCA and claim exemptions.
Like I earlier stated, your previous qualifications may entitle you to exemptions from some of the ACCA exams. This means you can start your studies at the most appropriate level according to your knowledge and skills. More importantly you will avoid studying subjects that you already know. This is what I call a “short cut”. The granting of exemptions by each respective professional body is however not automatic and obviously, certain conditions have to be fulfilled.
Before taking this route, visit accaglobal website for the full information on exemptions.
“ACCA has a network of nearly 80 global offices and centers around the world on hand to offer you guidance and support every step of the way as you progress towards membership.”
