ACCA Qualification - Exam Preparatory Courses – EY Academy of Business

ACCA Qualification – Exam Preparatory Courses

ACCA – Association of Chartered Certified Accountants

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) qualification is one of the most highly respected and valued qualifications available internationally. It is recognised by member states of the European Union.

Gaining such a qualification is evidence that the holder possesses skills and knowledge which are in high demand by employers in the industry, banking, auditing, consulting as well as other professions in the field of taxation and law.

Proven training methods

Our courses are intensive and are specially designed to help the candidate apply examination techniques.

We believe that when candidates start the ACCA programme it is essential that they get a strong grounding in Financial and Management Accounting. We aim to achieve this through a series of intensive courses in papers F2 and F3.

The usual structure of courses (with the exception of papers F2 and F3) is a one or two-day introductory course (normally at weekends) to put candidates into context. This is followed by a two-day midterm course and before the exam, there is a longer revision course during which the candidates practice exam questions. One month before the final examination, candidates take our mock exam. This is conducted under exam conditions and its purpose is to give the candidates feedback before the final exam.

Detailed information on examinations, administrative services, the registration process and other aspects related to obtaining the ACCA qualification can be found in the FAQ section, which contains answers to frequently asked questions.

Review on ACCA training course

„There is no doubt that ACCA is far superior to programmes offered by Polish universities (including MBA programmes). The knowledge of auditing and accounting standards, based on many years of experience in western countries, is particularly valuable. The EY Academy of Business has very good and effective lecturers, without whose help I would definitely have had difficulties in passing all the exams on time.”

How can I get exemptions from ACCA exams if I am starting an accredited degree course and have never been registered with ACCA?

Registration for EY postgraduate students who started their studies in March will take place in the new academic year in October/November. At that time you will receive information about the start of registration and a special code that will reduce the fee for exemptions.

How can I get exemptions from ACCA exams based on studies I have previously completed and have no intention of starting accredited studies?

  • Step 1: Use the exemption calculator to check if the degree you have completed allows you to get exemptions: https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/help/exemptions-calculator.html
  • Step 2: Contact us to confirm which documents you need to send to ACCA to obtain exemptions.
  • Step 3: Start your registration to become an ACCA student.
  • Step 4: Once your application has been processed, exemptions may be granted.

I am not registered with ACCA - how do I get this qualification as quickly and cost effectively as possible?

For those who are not registered with ACCA, we recommend studies on courses accredited by ACCA.

We recommend Master’s degree studies, which we run together with Warsaw School of Economics as well as post-graduate studies run together with WSB Academy.

After completing the above courses, the student may apply to ACCA Global for 9 exemptions from ACCA exams.

ATTENTION: the exemptions are paid – the fee is the same as for taking an exam in ACCA. Also, read below “Who is the Accelerate Scholarship program for?”

Who is the Accelerate Scholarship programme for?

The Accelerate Scholarship enables accredited graduate and postgraduate students to benefit from significant ACCA Global fee discounts.

NOTE: you cannot be registered with ACCA to participate in this programme; registration must be done while you are a student on an accredited course.

  • You receive discounted fees for ACCA exam exemptions – you pay only £10 for each of the 7 exemptions, with a full fee of £106 for the next 2 (payable only after graduation), saving you almost £600.
  • You are exempt from the first annual fee with ACCA (this is another £112 saving).
  • By a certain date (one year after graduation at the latest), you submit to ACCA (by emailing students@accaglobal.com) your diploma and diploma supplement in English confirming your graduation. You then receive a summary of exemptions, pay the fee and can prepare for the Strategic Professional level exams.

Who can run my administrative service at ACCA?

You can register with ACCA Global on your own on the website www.accaglobal.com or you can authorize EY Academy of Business to conduct your affairs in ACCA.

In the latter case, all administrative matters are handled by us: you receive from us complete information about the necessary documents concerning your first registration, exam registration, exemptions, annual fee and exam fee.

We also make all payments to ACCA on your behalf and send you an invoice covering these fees. The cost of our annual service is 805 PLN +23% VAT and 235 PLN +23% VAT each time you register for an exam through us.

What advantages does the ACCA qualification give me?

ACCA qualifications are among the most valued professional qualifications in the international business environment. They increase the value of candidates on the job market – both in Poland and abroad.

ACCA preparation courses are comprehensive, with particular emphasis on financial management. ACCA training courses make it possible to gain not only specialist knowledge in finance and accounting but also skills in organization and strategy of modern management.

After completing postgraduate studies “ACCA in Polish – Financial Management and Accounting in an International Environment”, you receive a discount on ACCA training courses at the Strategic Professional level of up to 30%, which is valid for one year after graduation – this motivates you to quickly pass the last 4 exams and obtain a full ACCA qualification.

Can I register for ACCA exams myself?

Yes. The ACCA examination session takes place 4 times a year: in June, September, December and March in specially designated centres around the world. You can register for the exams in the chosen exam session through your account on the MyACCA website. The examination fee can be paid by credit card.
