EXEMPTIONS

If you already have some qualifications you may not have to take all of the exams in the ACCA

Qualification or Foundations in Accountancy awards. These are called exemptions and mean that you will

start your studies at the right level for your knowledge and skill.

You should apply for exemptions when you first register as a student with ACCA – you can do this by

entering your qualification details during the application process, and our database will confirm any

exemptions that may be available to you. You must send official proof of any qualifications you already

have or are studying for along with your registration form so that we can assess if you are eligible for

exemptions, or send in copies (not originals) along with your registration form if applying by post

When your exemptions have been awarded, you will be issued with an exemption notification and an

invoice. You will need to pay an exemption fee for each paper awarded. Exemption fees are charged at the

early exam entry fee. Students are charged a one-off fee for each exemption awarded to cover

administration costs.

Our exemption enquiry database details all exemptions that may be available on the basis of

qualifications held by students. This includes exemptions awarded to accredited programmes and

exemptions awarded using our exemption framework
