These programmes are normally available to all nationals but non-UK students may require a UK Short-Term Study Visa (Visitor Visa). Our ACCA programmes' timetable structure may require a 3 - 9 hours per week mode of attendance but with our extended learning hours, students can expect to gain an additional 10 hours of study time.

COURSE OUTLINE

This programme prepares you for the external examinations of the ACCA in March, June, September, or December at Sterling College London.

Our one-year and three months programme covers the entire ACCA papers. The Fundamentals Level is taught in the initial nine months of study. The Knowledge Module (Papers BT, MA, and FA) of the Fundamentals Level constitutes the first semester of the course (8 to 10 weeks duration, 3 hours per week per module i.e. 9 hours per week in total for all three modules).

Alternatively, those completing the Professional Level papers from the previous year can take any two Options Modules in the first semester of the current year to complete their course.

Students then complete the Skills Module (LW - FM) within the second and third semesters.

Semester four of the course prepares students for the two Essential Modules: SBL and SBR

10 weeks (30 Hours) per tuition paper

We have four intake dates (semesters) throughout the year during which students can enrol on our ACCA programmes. These programmes are scheduled to correspond with ACCA's exam dates thereby allowing students to study towards specific exam dates.

Papers F1 to F4 can be taken at any time and are available by on-demand CBE i.e. can be taken online as Computer Based Exams (CBE). Subject to ACCA Exam Progression Rules

Generally, students can enrol on any paper(s) at any intake date subject to availability (Classes are subject to cancellation if enrollment is below prescribed minimums – 6). However, there is a progressive route from semester one (January to February) through to semester four (November to December) that underpins our course scheduling.

For this reason, tuition for:

• Papers F1, F2 and F3 or two Options Module from Papers P4 to P7 are available in semester one (January to February),
• Papers F4, F5 & F6 in semester two (April to May).
• Papers F7, F8 and F9 in semester three (July to August).
• Papers P1, P2 & P3 in semester four (November to December).

A student may only take a maximum of 3 papers per any given intake period (semester).

Classroom-based tutor-led tuition for each paper is of 30 hours duration, spread over an 8 to 10 weeks period.

Typically, a student enrolled on:

• a single paper may attend a 3-hour (one session) class once a week (morning, afternoon or evening - subject to availability).
• a student taking 3 papers in one semester would typically attend a 6-hour (two sessions) class one day and a 3-hour (one session) class another day within the same week or
• a 3-hour (one session) class for 3 days per week.

All class scheduling is subject to availability. Please enquire at the time of booking for confirmation.

This qualification is designed for students aged 16 and above.

Professional Examination Route:

The minimum entry requirements to register for the ACCA course, starting at the ACCA Knowledge level are:

• two A Levels plus 3 GCSEs in five separate subjects (including English and Mathematics)
• or the equivalent

Those students in possession of higher qualifications may be eligible for exemptions from some of the ACCA examinations.

ACCA Exemptions for Degree Holders:

Holders of recognised business and/or accounting degrees will be considered for ACCA exemption from some or all of the papers in Knowledge & Skills levels, if they have previously studied and been assessed in comparable subject areas. Students with non-relevant degrees will not receive an exemption from the examinations.

We advise you to check your starting point with ACCA before you enrol on the course.

Use the ACCA Exemption Calculator to quickly check if you are eligible for any exemptions and if so what exemptions to expect.

All our courses are self-funded. You are considered to be a self-funded student if you are funding your own studies or you are getting financial help from family or friends or receiving financial assistance directly from an external funder excluding UK student loan

For those with less time available to study and perhaps require some degree of flexibility in their mode of study, our individual paper pricing is the best option. The price includes books and online resources (Study Text, Exam Kit, Exam Prep Plus, Pocket Notes, etc. worth over £160 per paper).
