Exemption accredited programmes

• We work with university partners around the world to provide efficient pathways that enable seamless and effective learning at various levels convenient and relevant for you. We assess the programme syllabus and assessments and can award a number of exemptions against our examinations.
• Only programmes that have been through our accreditation process qualify for exemptions.  This process is rigorous because we need to ensure that the prior learning matches what is required for the ACCA qualification – supporting your future success. 
• The more exemptions awarded, the faster you will accelerate to completing your ACCA qualification.
• Exemptions are only valid for a limited period as we regularly make updates to our qualification, both in terms of annual syllabus updates and skills tested.
