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.

How do I register to start ACCA?

You may register as an ACCA student via accaglobal.com in order to start studying ACCA and obtain an ACCA registration number. ACCA have facilitated this process so it is relatively easy to apply.

Upon applying, you will be given a choice to either apply as ACCA or as FIA student. If you do not hold the minimum entry requirements which are 2 A’levels and 3 O’levels (including Maths and English, either as an A’Level or as an O’Level and across 5 separate subjects) you may apply as an FIA student. The only difference between applying as an ACCA student or as an FIA student is that you cannot apply for any papers under the skills section (LW-FM) prior to finishing from AB - FA if you apply as an FIA student.

You would need to provide a list of documents during your application process as detailed below:

         Proof of any qualifications

         Proof of identity (Identity Card or Passport)

         Passport-sized photograph

Each document file size must not exceed 2 MB. A maximum of 20 files may be uploaded. Permitted file types include:

  • Plain text files (TXT format)
  • Microsoft Word (DOC format)
  • Microsoft Excel (XLS format)
  • Images (in BMP, GIF, JPEG or TIFF format)
  • Adobe PDF

Once your register with ACCA, you would need to register with the local joint examination centre, namely the Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA). To register with MIA, you would need to send an email to js@miamalta.org advising them that you would like to register as an ACCA/MIA student whilst also providing them with your ACCA registration number as well as a scanned copy of your ID card from front and back. Subsequently, you will be asked to settle the initial/annual registration fee as part of their student registration process.
