By redefining the role of the accountant and with the introduction of Essential Employability Modules, we're placing an even greater focus on career success and opening doors to a new generation of students.
What these changes mean for you
They'll enhance the value of the ACCA Qualification ensuring it remains leading-edge and at the forefront of excellence and innovation
They'll give greater motivation for students to progress, creating stronger commitment and success rates
For our education partners this means larger student numbers and quicker progression through to membership. With the provision of a new option exam and a simplified Foundations pathway, we’re unlocking opportunities to reach larger numbers of students. We’ve consulted learning providers, employers, members, students and representatives of Gen Z across the world. Together, we’re ensuring that ACCA remains the gold standard for employability and innovation in the profession.
The redesigned qualification will be introduced in 2027.
