The ACCA Qualification

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants is one of the largest accountancy bodies in the world. The ACCA qualification provides you with a sound base on which to build a successful career in the public sector (commerce, industry etc). The ACCA qualification offers a passport to worldwide employment and an exciting and rewarding future. It offers security, financial reward and prestige.

You can join ACCA under one of the two schemes

1. Professional Examination Route (PER): This is the main route to the ACCA qualification, provided you are 18 years of age or older and have 2 'A' Levels and 3 'O' Levels in total of 5 separate subjects including English and Mathematics.
2. Mature Student Entry Route (MSER): This route suits those who do not have the above minimum qualifications and are 21 years of age or older. Mature students should pass M1/F3 and M2/F2 before they will be allowed to proceed with the course. They should pass these papers within two years from registration with ACCA. Upon successful completion of the papers, ACCA will automatically transfer the student to PER.
