Accelerate pathway for SPM students in Malaysia

Fast-track your journey to becoming an ACCA member. If you've completed SPM in Malaysia, the CAT Qualification offers an accelerated route to the ACCA Qualification.

Fast-track your ACCA journey after SPM

Students in Malaysia can fast-track into the ACCA Qualification through the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Qualification.

To enrol, you'll need five SPM credits (grade C or above), including English and Mathematics. Students who achieve grade A in SPM Prinsip Perakaunan will receive an exemption from FA1, giving them an even faster start.

By following this route, you can complete both the CAT and ACCA Qualifications in around three years, potentially finishing your professional exams by the age of 20.
