Total cost of ACCA qualifications/ How much does it cost to become ACCA qualified accountant (UK)

- Today we are talking about the total cost of ACCA qualifications.
I will break down how much does it cost to become an accountant in the UK with ACCA.
I had to make several assumptions into consideration as everyone will have different circumstances and possibly might get sponsorship and/or be fully/partly covered by the employer.
ACCA is accounting qualifications and it gives you Chartered Certified Accountants Certificate (after which you can put ACCA letters after your name).
I am an ACCA qualified accountant and I am here to help you through your ACCA journey, so if you have any questions please do ask.
If we haven't met before: I'm Agnes, the mummy behind the Mum Can Do It Blog I am the UK based full time working professional, a blogger, a RUclipsr (recent thing) and I have many interests which I talk about here on my Channel.

thank you for the video Agnes! much appreciated
You’re most welcome 🙏🏻
Ma'am! Thank you so much for information and I was wrong with my planning but now I have to bring some changes in my planning
Glad to have helped
Stay Safe and Keep Growing!!
Thanks, you too!
Thank u thanku so much
Most welcome. Are you about to start or already studying?
Subscribed & turned on the Notification Bell.
Thank you, much appreciated
Hi Agnes, thank you for this informative video, just wanted to ask a question, I had 8 exemptions from uni with one applied skills exam left. Once starting the P level papers would you suggest brushing my knowledge on the basics from previous exams or going straight into the revision I.e SBR & SBL (I’m using accwtancy also) 😊
I would suggest to juts go with the lessons followed by revisions, so don't jump right into revision withough going through the lessons first. However this will also depend how long ago you had studied and how well you remember things you have learned. I had 3 years gap in studies and did not go back brushing on my old topics, just went forward learning new things and the basics kind of came back to me as I was learning new things. I hope this helps and thank you for your comment. good luck
@@AgnesMann yes definitely that is defo the plan (I graduated in 2019 and became a student in 2020) so yes will go for the lessons when starting the p level exams. Thank you for the reply and I can’t wait for any upcoming acca videos from you☺️
Hi Agnes, thanks for the precise information in your video. I have done AAT Level 2 & 3 and currently studying AAT Professional Level 4, so how may exemptions do you think I can claim if I pursue ACCA qualifications. Normally how long does it take to complete ACCA qualifications? Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! As to the exemptions the only way to find out is by getting in touch with ACCA as they have to do some checks before confirming I believe. But I am pretty sure at least first 3 papers you should be able to be exempt from. As to the timeframe, it really depends on so many factors that it is difficult to establish. ACCA claims students should be able to complete ACCA in 3 years (on average) so I guess they have a big database to have such information, but it took me 3 years for complete just my P papers. Thank you for watching and I wish you good luck
Hello Agnes, thank you for this video. To be able to apply for the exemption if you have studied accounting at university, what mark must you have obtained? Is it the same pass mark as the university?
to Pass ACCA exams is 50% and I believe it will be same for uni marks. mine was always over 60 so not sure if they would not give me credentials if it was less than 50
hope this helps
Can you make a video about ACCA jobs in the EU and audit licenses in which countries applicable?
Will look into it and try to pit something together. Thank you for the suggestion
hi! great video :) it is possible to a company pay the qualification fees for an trainee accountant? or this is not so common?
Yes it is very common actually especially if they are approved employees or if they have fairly large accounting department. Just ask and she what they say.
you gave us motivation ❣️
Where are you doing your job now?
At which destination?
I was working in the UK company but currently I’m not employed by anyone
Hey, your video is really helpful! However can an international student pursue ACCA and give exams in UK itself?
Yes you can! The ACCA exams are helf all over the globe not just in the UK. Please check on ACCA website if they are holding the exams in the country that you are in
Thanks for this video. Are this qualifications recognized in Switzerland? I will like to start them before I moved there.
ACCA claims to be globally recognised therefore I would say yes, but best thing is to check on the recruiting website, what qualifications they requite in Switzerland.
Hi, I don't have an AAT qualification. Do I need this before studying the ACCA?
Not at all. You can start with no previous accounts studies
please advise if annual subsxription is obligatory and if it provides with the study material?? or you have to purchase it separaately?
The subscription is needed if you want to be a student (and pass the exams ) or member (and be able to use ACCA for your career). The subscription does not include study material although there is past papers and technical articles available on their websites which are crucial part of studies if you want to pass the exams. Although alone it’s not enough to pass the exams so you must have another source of study
Hi, do I need to study AAT level 1 - 3 before I start ACCA?
No you can start ACCA from no previous accounting studies.
Thank you very much for the information. I have a doubt. In September 2021 I will start university and study accounting BSc with finance and obviously I will have 7 extensions later. This year I registered as ACCA student, which is my fault because anybody explain to me properly. Do you think that will have repercussions or I can cancel it and then reopen it so as not to waste those 10 years??
Hi thank you for watching. You can ask acca to put your status on hold or even to cancel your registration. Just explain to them what you’ve just said and they should help you. Let me know how did it go.
@@AgnesMann thank you so much and I will write them so I hope they can help me 🤞🏻
Hi sister good video
Thank you
Thanks for the video. Could you help me understand what "part qualified" means? I am not sure how many exams I should have passed to apply to jobs as part qualified. thanks!
Part qualified is once you pass all of the fundamental papers. So in Acca mean you need to pass 9 exams. I hope this helps.
@@AgnesMann It does, thank you so much!
Can I teach myself or do I have to pay an expensive tuition provider?
You can learn yourself if you are disciplined enough. You also can study with Acowtancy which is not expensive and a very good tuition. It gives you the study on demand option. How many papers have you passed
If I register in ACCA with 9 exemptions can I complete four papers in seven years?
How many years i have to complete the 4 papers????
You can smash them all in one year providing you take one exam per session. But just be prepared it might not go to plan as these are tough papers. Good luck
I have very good marks on account but I don't think it will be enough for studying acca
Please do check with ACCA as you might be allowed some exemptions. Believe in yourself!
Hey girl I’m looking for this course have you got a job as yet ?
Hi. I do work in accounts from the time I was studying so yes I do work
Hi there sorry if mentioned in different video but did you start aat before acca?
Just seen you went to uni
Glad you found the answer
@@AgnesMann thanks for the reply. I am currently considering starting aat to start my career but dont know where to start lol
@@Tomahawkfalcone it’s hard especially nowadays during COVID. Good start is to contact recruiters and get them to help you. Good luck
Hi Agnes u Ok?
My enquiry is about ths course after completing b.com from India..with to Di ACCA from uk,plz guide what to do next
what is b com. not quite sure what are you asking me. Please elaborate
@@AgnesMann bachelor of commerce
@@fiih1695 you can apply to study acca and will get some exemptions for sure. Best thing is to speak to acca and they will guid you. Hope this helps
I'm thinking about self studying for the acca because I don't have the cash to go through an accounting school right now. I've been self studying for my exams because of covid and unreliable teachings so i got used to it.
Go for it! It's totally doable. It does require some discipline and self motivation. Try Acowtancy as they are really affordable and great value for money. Good luck
Hi i completed my first 9 papers of ACCA from india is there any option for completing the remaining 4 papers from UK??
Yes you can do them anywhere in the world
@@AgnesMann how can i apply for there......i make a message on your Instagram will you please reply for that 🥰🥰
Hi Agnes, Currently I am studying ACCA professional levels in the UK . I am trying to search for accountancy jobs, but as I have not done AAT levels and directly enrolled into ACCA with my BCOM degree from India, I am not able get a job. Kindly guide me how to go about this. Thanks in advance.
Hi Santin. You need to knock on any possible door to get the job ASAP as you need 3 years of experience before you can fully qualify with acca. I did a video (second to my most recent one) where I point where to find an accounts job. Please watch it as I believe it will help you. I would spend all of my free time to focus on Getting yourself a job ASAP so you start building up your PER. Good luck 🤞
Hi Agnes, Currently I am preparing for my SBR exam and searching for jobs in practise as well. I did watch your video on how to get accountant jobs in the UK. Due to no work experience in UK, not doing AAT and my age (late 30's) it is difficult for me to get into small practise firms. I am based at Taunton (Somerset County- near to Bristol). I am applying for Trainee accountant or Trainee management roles at the moment.
@@santinkoonampacal1314 I wish you all the best in the job search. I am positive something will come up soon. Good luck
@santin koonampacal , I am srinivas I am a qualified indian chartered accountant want to move to UK to persue my carrier in ACCA, ca I get your watsup number for guidance ?
I have to pay for my subscriptions but I’m grateful that my employer is able to pay for my Kaplan course fee and exams 🙏🏽
Any helps is good as it can get expensive if you pay for it all yourself. I would recommend you check out Acowtancy.com for a study source as it is really good and cheap
@@AgnesMann My Kaplan tutor recommended this site too. What a coincidence! 🤯
@@stefa22 I don't think it's a coincidence! this site is really good and people/ especially tutors know about it. It's surprising that he's sending you the competitor but I guess he's just being helpful.
@@AgnesMann She said the website is really good even though it’s their competitor. I will definitely use it to test my knowledge and do mock exams
Hi agnes I am looking to start acca from beginning. Can I email you to ask you some questions?
Hi Agnes , I have completed Aat level 3 , should I go for Aat level 4 or Acca Applied knowledge ( which one is valued more ) which one do you recommend
I’d say check how many exemptions will you u get now and how many can you get after doing aat level 4. Defo do acca as more employable with it but call acca and check re exemptions first. Thank you
Acca + data analyst+ coder-python
How is this combination?
Interesting..
Hi, what if i live in uae 🇦🇪 , and then moved out to uk 🇬🇧 to work and study acca, would my work salary there afford my education + living in uk 🇬🇧? Knowing that i got bachelor’s degree in finance
I cannot tell you that, it would depend on many different factors from the place of living to the type of study (online, face to face, provider) you choose.
@@AgnesMann lets say if i went there, is the work there can afford my place and food + education, as a full time job in a company or a bank with my finance bachelor’s
Acowtancy seems to be the cheapest study resource (£149). Is this enough to pass the exams if I want to self fund? Thanx
Yes totally. That’s the phenomenon of it. Because it’s all prerecorded and set up the benefit is that the fee is little. Used to be only £99 when I used to study. Acca has given Acowtancy Approved learning provider badge meaning they recommend and accept the study materials provided. You’re going to love and- remember the material is enough although you still need to study hard to go through past papers. Good luck
@@AgnesMann Hi, thank you Agnes. Does Acowtancy provide the past papers?
@@allaincedrickhilario2017 they do have large bank of question that they go over explaining how to approach it and answer but the actual past papers you can access on ACCA website
Hi.. Your videos are very helpful.. I got to know that Birmingham City University is having full time course for international students for P level exams. I am from India. I would like to move to The UK for studies.
Is it worth to join the course at Birmingham Uni and apply for ACCA jobs after completion.
Do you know what is the possibility of getting such a job.
Also can an ACCA International student get part time Accounting jobs in the UK .
Reply would be much appreciated🥰🥰
Yes, definitely, in the UK you have as many foreign workers as the nationals so definitely lots of jobs opportunities for people from all over the country. I would strongly suggest taking at least part time job and working you job experience whilst studying ACCA, otherwise it will take you 36 months on top to qualify as you need 36 months of experience in order to fully qualify. I hope this helps
@@AgnesMann THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY....🥰🥰🥰Actually I have already got the 3 years Chartered Accountancy Apprenticeship experience from India which is counted under ACCA. Concern is still about part time job opportunities in Accounts sector😥😥
Is Acca better than an accounting degree ?
Yes. With a degree you are on a party qualified level compared to acca. I have a degree which gave me exemptions only up to the P level
Do you get paid when training
Yes
Hi if we complete ACCA, do we have to make payments for life? Someone on quora said membership payments were for life, but i cant find any information on this. Also how much do we have to pay? (if there is a payment)
Hi, Yes once you become a member, just like while you are a student you would pay an annual membership. This is not a very expensive fee comparing to the benefits you get of being a member. The fee goes up nearly every year and in 2021 in the UK is £258 (it is an annual fee, paid at the beginning of each year) here you can find more info www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/qualifications/accountancy-career/fees/fees-charges-cluster-a.html?countrycode=UnitedKingdom
@@AgnesMann thank you so much for the reply.
@@AgnesMann what happens if we leave the membership? I mean if we stop paying. Do we still get to use our degree/ certificate for passing ACCA?
I mean are our ACCA results still valid or we can not use ACCA results when we apply for jobs?
@@s.e.2681 officially you cannot use ACCA letters or say you are a member if you are not paying the fee and employer might run a check if you indeed have a valid membership just to make sure you are. I hope this helps
ACCA is the finest Audit Qualification.
CHARTERED CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANT ( GLOBAL ACCOUNTANTS)
Lots of love
Malaysia
thank you. Are you too studying to become ACCA member ?
No. Its just know worldwide for being the finest Audit Qualification .
Cheapest university to study ACCA in UK ?
No idea to be honest. Please check on the uni you are interested in websites.
Earlier in one of your video you said Acowtancy is free ....have they started charging now?
It is free to sign up, it is free for some material like book (online version) but if you want the classes you need to pay - but it's the cheapest and best classes you will ever see, I promise (I am not linked to Acowtancy, I just truly believe in it as it helped me achieving my ACCA qualification)
@@AgnesMann thank you so much for your quick reply.
@@AgnesMann hello Agnes I've signed up for free on accowtancy & they have this Downloadable PDF notes of 250-300 pages for each paper are they helpful to learn from for exams???
Is it enough material wise to clear!?
I'm going to give my skill level paper in September
@@makaranddesai6139 It depends how well you manage to get through it and what paper you are doing. Some papers are not easy to learn and it does help to get some topics explained by tutor. If you want to avoid paying, try fining more difficult topics that you cannot get your head around on OpenTuition or RUclips. You can do it, it's just going to be a little harder to find free "top ups" to lear more in depth certain topics
@@AgnesMann hello thanks for replying, Im from India and I've joined classes over here, but they only refer Kaplan and bpp, and I did check accowtancy I really liked it
And it had some extra info too in its pdf notes
Just wanted to know if it's relevant to the paper & whether or not I should study from their pdf of notes
Can a Nepali student study ACCA in uk along with internship ?? Plzz reply me @

@@AgnesMann mam plzz would you tell me the per subject fee of study ACCA in London plzz mam.??
I am a bcom graduate from kolkata 🇮🇳 🎓Mam can u suggest me some courses like ACCA and scopes in abroad and a few good career opportunities .😊
ACCA is great for job prospects especially in the UK. Not sure if you are referring to the UK but ACCA is the best here.
@@AgnesMann Mam , can I pursue ACCA UK from India or I have to shift myself to abroad .🤔
@@boringbeast175 acca is everywhere almost. In India too. No need to shift
luckily me, I have completed 10 papers and i have only spent 202 pounds yet... the fees for 9 paper exemptions were waived by ACCA and just paid 46 pounds for registration and 156 for SBR exam... but you have spend a lot of money Agnes.
I have failed many times and my exams fees were not sponsored. On top I have also had t o pay the registration. You always pay for the exemption so not sure how you got those waived? I would be interested to hear how can this be done...
@@AgnesMann actually, the university where i got my degree from have had MOU with ACCA that's why by completing the accounting and finance degree I got it all waived.
@@taqeeafghan7335 you might want to mention the University name for people to benefit, please.
@@taqeeafghan7335 yes giving name might benefit for people who are going to register now
What you have studied ? And now where are you working?
I studies Accounting and now I'm running the business with husband
@@AgnesMann great mam! Keep it up✊
Do maths required in acca
Not especially as nowadays everyone uses calculators and on the exams you are allowed them but you do need to enjoy working with numbers I would say. Do you like working with figures?
@@AgnesMann Because I hate Maths more than anything else
@@kirtivlogs361 than I don’t think you would enjoy the accounts. Why you consider acca?
@@AgnesMann i don't like standard maths I am ok with basic maths like plus , subtraction etc i am in class 10 and I am thinking to start acca in class 11 so I am not so good in standard maths and i am ok in basic maths can I do acca? And I am not taking maths in class 11
This is not expensive compared to Usa MBAs)
you are not comparing apples to apples. ACCA is not a masters but a qualifications and can be done with self studies with no teachers involved. For MBA you would need to attend university and have several tutors. Hence the price would vary. Thank you for your comment and I am guessing you are doing/ have done/ will be doing MBA?

How can i get job in Uk from Nepal?
First thing would be to look online for the jobs and also figure out if the employer would be happy to go through working visa with you. I would advise also speaking to recruitment agents in Nepal. Tbh we have really difficult times to look for a job as yet but the job market is slowly picking up. Good luck
@Anil Giri bhai, Are you ACCA qualified? I am originally Nepalese, now British Citizen. I won't think that It's possible for me to arrange visa etc for you to bring you here in the UK to work in my just starting Real Estate Business. I am not sure (never thought about it before!) whether it's possible for you to work for me from Nepal. I am actually seeking/requiring a UK Property Tax Accountant to work me immediately (or by June/July 2021).
@@AgnesMann are you based in Southeast England by any chance?

Are study materials provided by Acowntancy enough for all levels of acca or do i need to buy kalpan books as well ?
No need to buy anything additional. Just print out lots of past papers (3 years worth I'd suggest as a minimum) and go though classes on Acowtancy. Thank you
@@AgnesMann so i don't need to buy any books?.....and you're talking about for all levels no?
Yes all levels although I only did P level with them as I have had exemptions but totally enough on all levels yes
@@AgnesMann okay, thank you so much🤗
