From 2016 we have been running four exam sessions a year at all our exam centres in March, June, September and December.
This means you have even greater flexibility and choice when planning your studies and our new exam planner tool will help you do just that.
The new exam calendar provides you with more opportunities to:
- Spread your workload and maximise the chances of success
- Structure your studies so you can take additional exams over a calendar year and move faster on your journey to membership
- Take any potential resits sooner and progress through the exams quicker
Our new exam entry system will also allow you to enter for two exam sessions at once, so you can always take advantage of the cheapest exam fees.
Annual subscription
close/openThe annual subscription fee is due by 1st January each year. Payment can be made online via myACCA
