CAT CBE extended registration closing date
An extended registration closing period will be available if you wish to attempt CBEs for the Certified Accounting Technician syllabus outside the normal published registration closing dates.

These dates are:
1 January - 28 February for the June exam session; and
16 - 31 August for the December session.

The rules and regulations of the CAT CBE extended registration deadline are:

• It is only available for you to sit CBEs between:
  • 1 January and 31 March, if you also wish to sit paper-based exams at the forthcoming June exam session; and
  • 16 August and 30 September, if you also wish to sit paper based exams at the forthcoming December exam session.
• ACCA will only accept web registrations for this process.
• Declarations, documents and fees must be submitted by the licensed CBE centre and not by individual students.
• Exam entries cannot be changed once submitted to ACCA.

Procedures
The following steps must be taken:

• You should complete an online registration and take note of your reference number.
• The centre submits a form to ACCA, to include the reference numbers by:
  • 28 February for the June exam session; or
  • 31 August for the December exam session.
• A pre registration is created for you to enable you to sit the CAT CBEs.
• You sit your CAT CBEs.
• The centre will submit, on your behalf, the web declaration forms, photos and supporting documentation for registration, along with exam entries and fees by the extended deadlines of:
  • 31 March for the June exam session; and
  • 30 September for the December exam session.
• ACCA will complete the registration and process the exam entries. You will then have your actual registration numbers confirmed.

Please note that this service is only applicable to CAT CBE students who wish to sit paper-based exams at the immediate exam session after attempting their CBE exams. All other students, i.e. those not requiring to be registered for paper based exams at the next session, should submit their registrations through the usual process, at least six weeks prior to their CBE session.
