Our qualifications
The ACCA qualification is an alternative, but equivalent route to the traditional academic route into the accountancy profession. This route allows new entrants from matriculant-level and well-seasoned professionals to obtain business-relevant, internationally recognised accounting qualifications, which embrace global best practice.

Further to that the qualifications of 12 professional institutes has been assessed for exemption purposes. To access a comprehensive list click on: http://bit.ly/12QnQMi.

A number of delivery options are available, including, self-paced learning, self-study, and part-time classes, with various entry and exit points.
