In order to gain the ACCA Qualification and to qualify as an ACCA member, you need to:
complete 13 examinations (students holding relevant university degrees may be exempted from up to 9 exams),
have relevant practical work experience, and
complete the Professional Ethics Module.
Examinations are held in June and December every year. Students are permitted to sit a maximum of 4 examinations per session. The papers Accountant in Business (AB), Management Accounting (MA), Financial Accounting (FA) and Corporate and Business Law (LW) may be sat at any time during the year as Computer Based Exams (CBE) and you can sit them at our CBE accredited centres in Bratislava and Košice.
Before applying for ACCA Membership, the Professional Ethics Module must be completed. It is an online training system designed to expose students to a range of ethical perspectives. You will receive access to the module once you are eligible to sit the paper Professional Accountant (P1). It is highly recommended that students sit the module before or simultaneously with their training for the SBL (Strategic Business Leader) examination.
A key component of the ACCA Qualification is gaining relevant practical experience. The ACCA Qualification will prepare you for a challenging and often demanding career as a professional accountant and, like all professions, it is not sufficient to solely rely on theoretical knowledge developed through an exam process to help you achieve this.
Students are required to complete 3 years of relevant practical experience to achieve 13 performance objectives (9 Essentials objectives and 4 out of 11 Options objectives).

How long will it take to Qualify?
It generally takes 4 to 5 years to complete the examinations, together with the Ethics Module and relevant 3 years’ work experience. It may be possible to finish earlier depending on how many exemptions you may claim based on your education and if you have already accumulated enough work experience.
How do I register for ACCA?
The first step is the registration with ACCA, which can take place at any time. After submitting all necessary documents about your formal education and claiming exemptions (cca 3 weeks), students can take the exam. Exams AB, FA, MA, LW may be taken any time at our CBE authorised centre.
