Students are awarded:

Certificate of Achievement
Students are awarded a Certificate of Achievement if they achieve a pass mark of 85 per cent or above for individual passes in Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA) and Financial Accounting (FA) from June 2011 onwards and Corporate and Business Law (LW) from June 2015 onwards.

ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4)
Students are awarded the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4) when they have successfully completed Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA) and Financial Accounting (FA) (at least one of which must have been sat and passed), plus completion of Foundations in Professionalism. Students who obtain full exemptions will not be awarded the Certificate.

Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business
Students are awarded the Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business when they have successfully completed the Applied Skills exams (at least two passes are required, one of which must have been sat on or after 1st June 2011), plus completion of the ethics and Professional Skills module. Students who obtain full exemptions will not be awarded the Certificate.

Strategic Professional Certificate
Students are awarded a Strategic Professional Certificate when they have successfully completed all of the Essentials exams of the ACCA Qualification (Strategic Business Leader (SBL), and Strategic Business Reporting (SBR)) and any two of the Options exams from Advanced Financial Management (AFM), Advanced Performance Management (APM), Advanced Taxation (ATX) and Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA).

The rule means you have seven years to complete Strategic Professional once you pass your first Strategic Professional exam. If you don’t pass all the Strategic Professional exams and reach affiliate status within seven years, you’ll lose any Strategic Professional passes achieved after seven years. These will need to be re-taken for you to be able to complete the exams component of the ACCA Qualification.

You may refer to yourself as having ACCA affiliate status but may not use the designatory letters after your name or refer to yourself as an ACCA member in any context. Affiliates who do so may be liable to disciplinary action.

This is important to safeguard the reputation of ACCA and its members.

If you are outside the UK and want to have your ACCA certificates attested by the British Council and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), you should:

1. Submit your qualification certificate to your local British Council office for attestation.
   
   
2. Once the documentation is received back from British Council it then needs to be sent to the FCO. When the attested certificate is sent to the FCO it must be accompanied by a letter from ACCA regarding the validity of the certificate. Contact us to request this letter.
   
   
3. Full details of the FCO process, application form, fees and expected turnaround times can be found at www.fco.gov.uk/legalisation or contact:

   Telephone: +44 (0) 3700 00 22 44
   
   
4. Once the documents are received back from the FCO they are then ready to use as appropriate e.g. forwarding to a relevant country embassy/authority/attaché in the UK for their checks.

ACCA’s preferred way of communicating with you is through myACCA and email, and we are now moving all our customers to these methods. ACCA reserves the right to issue all communications and documentation via myACCA and email only, so please ensure your contact details are kept up-to-date.

To reactivate your student account, you need to complete the readmission application. It's important to note that you cannot submit a new application for this purpose, the readmission application process must be completed online. 

As an ACCA student, you need to pay an annual subscription fee each year. If you’re returning in the same calendar year you were removed, you’ll need to pay a readmission fee plus any outstanding debt.

If you’re returning in a different year from when you were removed, you’ll need to pay the readmission fee and your subscription fee. We will contact you if you had any previous outstanding fees.

If you live in a country where ACCA works in partnership with a local accountancy body, as part of a Joint Examination Scheme and Joint Pathway Programmes then you should read the information for residents of joint scheme countries before proceeding."
