I want to become an ACCA student, what do I have to do?

The first thing that you must do is register with the ACCA in the UK as a student. You have to do this by sending a form directly to them with various documents.

Can you register me with ACCA?

No - you have to complete the Registration Form yourself. Therefore when you have completed the ACCA Registration Form and gathered all necessary documents, send them to the ACCA office in the UK.
If you have any problems when you are completing the form then please do email us and we will help you.

What documents do I have to send to ACCA?

You have to send two passport sized photographs, a photocopy of the details page of your passport, a photocopy of your university diploma, and an official list of the examinations you have taken at university. In addition they will need translations of the university documents if they are not in English. Please note that they do not require notarised copies - ordinary photocopies are enough.

When should I post the form?

ACCA must receive the form before 15 August if you wish to attempt exams in the December of that year. If you register as a student between 16 August and 31December you will be eligible to attempt exams in the following June

Do I have to take all exams?

If you have a University Degree it is very likely that ACCA will grant you exemptions from sitting some papers. However, it is the ACCA that decide this (which is why you have to send a list of examinations you have taken at university. Only examinations - they do not count just attending a course.)
When you have received a reply from the ACCA you will know which examinations you have to take.

I have registered with ACCA, do I have to come on your courses?

It is not compulsory to attend courses. However it does greatly help your chances of success.

At the moment, you can see the course dates for the June 2010 courses. The course dates for December exams will be in a similar pattern, but will only be for papers F3, F4, F6, F7, F8, P1, P2 and P7

Is my English good enough to study ACCA?

If you are understanding this website, then the answer is probably yes. You should however realise that all the teaching, study materials and exams are in the English language. Do not worry  too much about the quality of your written English – you will not be marked on your knowledge of grammar (grammar is not taught in UK schools!).

Where are the examinations held?

The examinations are held in Vilnius. They are organised by the British Council, who choose the location. They are usually in one of the large hotels. Here for the last 2 years they have been held in the Reval Hotel.

How many exams do I have to sit each time?

You can sit a maximum of 4 exams. Most students attempt 2 or 3 papers in any one session, but it is possible to attempt just 1 paper at a session - or even not take any paper at all.
