Practical Experience Requirements
Becoming an ACCA qualified accountant does not just involve passing your exams, you also need to complete our Practical Experience Requirement (PER). It is not just accountants who must gain relevant practical experience, many other professions, such as doctors and lawyers, also have to gain experience to show that they are fit to practise.
You can gain your practical experience before, during or after you complete the ACCA exams.
Practical experience is relevant if you are studying for the ACCA Qualification or want to achieve the CAT Qualification under Foundations in Accountancy.
Visit myACCA where you will find:
- your own personal recording tool - My Experience. You will need to use this to record any practical experience you have gained if you are studying for the ACCA Qualification
or - foundations in practical experience record (FPER) and summary if you are studying for the CAT Qualification.
Visit the practical experience requirements section of the website and find out what you have to do to achieve your experience.
