Students with no formal academic qualifications can register to take exams at any level within Foundations in Accountancy. There is no requirement to complete the Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting or the Intermediate Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting prior to completing the Diploma in Accounting and Business, although students are strongly recommended to do so.
You can start at any time, study from anywhere and set your own pace. Apart from study material and exam practice questions, you also get a Study Plan and unlimited tutor access for 3 months or until your session-based exam. Study at your own pace and in your own space. You can speed up your studies if you want to qualify quickly - no waiting for classes to begin. Or you can take it slowly if you wish.
You'll develop knowledge and understanding of the underlying principles and concepts relating to financial accounting and technical proficiency in the use of double-entry accounting techniques, including the preparation of basic financial statements for single entities and simple groups. You'll also be introduced to basic techniques of interpretation of financial statements.
Each exam is a 2hr computer based exam (CBE). The exams are on demand and can be sat at any time at an ACCA CBE centre or taken via the ACCA Remote Exam option. CBEs are offered for Global and UK variants only.
CBEs are computer marked, so as soon as you complete your exam you will receive a result on your screen. Your result will be transferred to your myACCA account within 72 hours.
