If your son or daughter has the equivalent of three GCSEs and two A-levels in five separate subjects including maths and English, they can start their journey with us at the ACCA Qualification. It’s your child’s route to becoming a fully-qualified professional accountant.
The ACCA Qualification opens up a whole world of opportunity – by providing them with skills and knowledge relevant to any business. This means they’ll be able to work in any accountancy role in any organisation – so they’ll always be in demand. And if they are a graduate, they may be exempt from some or all of the first nine exams (called the Fundamentals level) depending on their degree subject. This means they will have a faster route to becoming an ACCA member.
A key part of gaining ACCA membership is getting three years’ relevant practical experience in the workplace. This experience will mean your son or daughter will be fully prepared for a challenging career as a professional accountant.
Professional ethics is at the heart of the ACCA Qualification. The Professional Ethics module underpins your child’s studies by introducing them to a range of ethical ideas so that they will act professionally in the workplace.
ACCA offers flexible study options. So your son or daughter can study ACCA full-time or study part-time around full-time work. They can learn with a tuition provider or choose distance learning.
If they study with a tuition provider, we have a global network of tuition providers who are approved by us – and who meet our high standards. These are called Approved Learning Partners (ALPs) and there’s a full list of them on the ACCA website.
If they are not a graduate, the ACCA Qualification gives your child the opportunity to achieve a BSc degree from a UK university. All they have to complete is a report as well as their ACCA exams – it’s as simple as that. So they’ll be awarded a degree by Oxford Brookes University without doubling their workload.

"I felt that accountancy was a great way for me to get involved in business and ACCA would provide me with a unique qualification that would deliver a broad knowledge base, which is important as I wanted to work in Industry.
