About ACCA
The ACCA Qualification is the world leading accountancy qualification for aspiring financial professionals – providing students with the skills, knowledge and values to have successful careers and lead the organisations they work with into the future. The ACCA qualification is recognised all around the world for its high standards of expertise, professionalism and ethics. Moreover, the sought-after ACCA qualification is extremely flexible. One can study part-time and work at the same time thus gaining experience in today’s fast-paced business world.
Do you want to further your education and become qualified in finance and accounting? Then ACCA is the right qualification for you.
Most students seek qualification whilst working and manage to do so over an average of three to four years. The ACCA qualification requires students to pass thirteen exams, depending on prior experience and qualifications (one may get up to nine exam exemptions).
Exam sittings for BT/F1 (Business and Technology), MA/F2 (Management Accounting) and FA/F3 (Financial Accounting) are flexible and can happen at our Academy at any time of the year as these are Computer Based Exams (CBEs). Remaining exam sittings happen four times a year – in March, June, September and December except LW/F4 (Corporate and Business Law Malta), TX/F6 (Taxation Malta) and ATX/P6 (Advanced Taxation Malta). For these three Maltese variants modules, a student can sit the exam only during the June and December sittings. These modules are delivered by KPMG subject matter experts.
