The new approval programme explained

03 May 2007

ACCA's University and College Registration Scheme (UCRS) is designed to recognise existing ACCA tuition providers who meet a set of specific quality criteria and guide ACCA students towards these institutions. Strong links between ACCA and quality tuition providers can facilitate the sharing of best practice, and help improve the services offered to our students.

From September 2007, the UCRS will no longer exist in its current format. It will be replaced by a brand new programme, called 'Approved Learning Partners - Student Tuition'. In preparation for the transition, ACCA is no longer accepting new applications for the UCRS scheme.

An information pack on ACCA's new approach to tuition provider approval will be available for interested parties in July 2007. Any tuition provider wishing to receive the information pack should contact the UCRS team at ucrs@accaglobal.com and we will ensure that this is sent as soon as it becomes available.The pack will also be available online to download.

If you are a tuition provider already registered with ACCA, visit the Registered Tuition Providers section of this site to access resources and benefits available to you.
The new programme will be unveiled at ACCA events from February 2007, and all existing UCRS registered tuition providers will receive detailed information on how these changes affect them directly in July 2007.

Further information on the transitional process will be sent to registered tuition providers by e-mail.
