Exemption support

If you are already registered to study for an ACCA qualification and you gain additional academic qualifications, you may also be eligible for exemptions from examinations.

Students registering from the 1 January 2007, will be registering to the new ACCA Qualification.

Check your exemptions eligibility for the ACCA Qualification

The exemption enquiry database details all exemptions that may be available on the basis of qualifications held by students. There may not be as many exemptions available to qualifications that have not been accredited by ACCA, as the awarding body has not provided ACCA with the opportunity to fully assess the qualification. ACCA do not consider individual applications for further exemptions.
ACCA can only award exemption on the basis of qualifications awarded by recognised institutions (i.e. those which are recognised by the local Ministry of Education as public sector institutions, or the equivalent status under their regulations). If your institution is not listed on the exemption enquiry database, please send your documentation to ACCA Connect, for further review.
Students will be required to pay an exemption fee for each paper awarded. Exemption fees are the same as examination fees.
You must send official proof of any relevant qualifications which are held, or are currently being studied for, with your registration form, in order for us to assess your eligibility and confirm your entitlement for exemptions.
Award certificates must be submitted for all completed qualifications. Academic transcriptts should also be submitted for any qualification upon which you wish to claim exemption.
Any documentation which is not in English must be officially translated before submission.

Contact your local office for details or search the online exemptions database. Alternatively, if you wish to make an application for exemptions under these circumstances, please complete the relevant form below and return with proof of your qualification (e.g. a copy of the relevant certificate) and an official transcriptt showing all subjects studied (if applicable) to:
