Exemptions
on registration
Depending
on the educational qualifications you possess, you
may find that you are eligible for some exemptions
from ACCA qualifications. Exemptions are awarded at
the time of registering for an ACCA qualification
according to the qualifications which you hold - you
do not need to make a separate application for them.
If ACCA does not have sufficient information to award
the exemption from the appropriate papers, we will
contact you for additional information. You should
not send exemption fees with your registration application;
you will be invoiced accordingly when the exemptions
have been awarded.
NB:
Exemptions are awarded ONLY on the basis
of academic qualifications. Candidates who have relevant
work experience may be able to count their experience
towards the necessary competence requirement for the
CAT or ACCA qualification (provided the experience
can be verified by the appropriate employer), but
it will not qualify them for exemptions from any of
the professional or technician examinations.
If
you are to be exempted from Technician Level A, for
example, you will not be allowed to attempt Technician
Level B examinations at the next available session,
unless you have claimed the exemption for Technician
Level A by the appropriate deadlines shown below:
- 31
July for December examinations
- 31
January for June examinations
There
are different closing dates for claiming exemptions
for Joint Scheme applicants in Singapore.
Work
Experience
If
you have relevant experience accredited at NVQ 2 or
above you will gain exemption from the ACCA Accounting
Technician Level A. No other exemptions are available
based on experience. However, previous work experience
can be counted towards the Technician competence requirement
if it is recorded in the Technician Training Record
and can be verified by the appropriate supervisor.
Exemptions
from the Qualification
If
you have no qualifications, you will be expected to
complete all three Levels of the Technician examinations.
Other qualifications will receive exemptions from
some, or all papers. But even with exemptions, you
have to satisfy the necessary training requirement
to complete the Technician qualification as a whole.
