Where to start?

To begin with, you must register with ACCA. You can register yourself at www.accaglobal.com or through the EY Academy of Business. In the latter case, all administrative obligations towards ACCA are handled by us and in all matters concerning ACCA you contact us directly: from us, you receive a complete set of information about the necessary documents for registration and dismissals. We send documents to ACCA and monitor the enrolment process. We assist with all additional issues related to ACCA during your studies. As part of such cooperation, we make fees on your behalf at ACCA: this applies to costs related to registration, exams and annual fees.

After registering with ACCA, you can take the exams, which are organised four times a year: in March, June, September and December. The exams are held at the same time all over the world.

What do the training courses for the ACCA exams give?

We organise intensive courses that equip you with the necessary knowledge and techniques to excel on the exam.  As a result, the passing rate of our students’ exams far exceeds the world’s pass rate for individual subjects. EY Academy of Business courses are usually held on weekends, Live Online – you can take part from anywhere in the world! All you need is a mobile device and the Internet.

In order to best prepare students for ACCA exams, as part of our training we provide:

• An intensive programme, allowing you to master examination techniques, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by a pass rate higher than the world average;
• A mock exam, which is designed to test existing knowledge and knowledge of exam techniques;
• Lecturers with extensive business experience and knowledgable in ACCA requirements;

The cost of a set of Kaplan Publishing Essentials Pack (includes Kaplan Study Text ebook and Kaplan Exam Kit) for one subject is EUR 95 (excl. VAT).

How can I get exempt from the ACCA exams if I'm starting my accredited studies and have never been enrolled in ACCA?

Enrolment for EY postgraduate students who started their studies in March will take place in the new academic year at the turn of October and November. Then you will receive information about the start of registration and a special code, thanks to which the fee for layoffs will be reduced.

How can I get exempt from ACCA exams based on studies I have completed in advance and do not intend to start accredited studies?

Step 1: Use the exemption calculator to check if the degree of studies you have completed allows you to obtain exemptions: https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/help/exemptions-calculator.html

Step 2: Contact us to confirm what documents need to be sent to the ACCA to obtain the exemptions.

Step 3: Start enrolment to become an ACCA student.

Step 4: After processing your application, the exemptions may be granted.

I am not registered with ACCA - how to get these qualifications as quickly and cost-effectively as possible?

For people who are not registered with ACCA, we recommend studying in ACCA-accredited courses.

We recommend master’s studies, which we conduct together with the Warsaw School of Economics, and postgraduate studies conducted with the WSB Academy.

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

NOTE: Dismissals are paid – the fee is the same as for taking the ACCA exam. Also read below “Who is the Accelerate Scholarship program for?”

Who is the Accelerate Scholarship program for?

The Accelerate Scholarship allows students of accredited master’s and postgraduate studies to benefit from substantial discounts in fees to ACCA Global.

NOTE: to participate in this program you cannot be registered with ACCA; registration must be made as an accredited student.

You receive discounts on ACCA exam exemption fees – for each of the 7 exemptions you pay only GBP 30, for the next 2 there is a full fee of GBP 114 (payable only after graduation), so you save almost GBP 600.

You are exempt from your first annual contribution to ACCA (this is another GBP 134 savings).

Within a certain period (at the latest one year after graduation) you submit a diploma and a supplement to the diploma in English confirming graduation to the ACCA (by sending to students@accaglobal.com). Then you get a summary of the layoffs, make the fee and you can prepare for exams from the Strategic Professional level.

Who can manage my administrative service at ACCA?

You can register with ACCA Global yourself at www.accaglobal.com or authorise EY Academy of Business to conduct your affairs at ACCA.

In the latter case, all administrative issues are handled by us: from us, you receive a set of information about the necessary documents regarding the first registration, registration for exams, dismissals, annual fee and exam fees.

We also make all payments to ACCA on your behalf and send you an invoice that covers these fees. The annual service fee charged by us is EUR 190 +23% VAT, and EUR 55 +23% VAT, each time you register for the exam through us.

What do ACCA qualifications give me?

ACCA qualifications are among the most valued professional qualifications in the international business environment. They significantly increase the value of candidates on the labour market.

The comprehensive preparatory training courses equip you with not only specialised knowledge in finance and accounting but also essential skills in modern management, including organisational and strategic thinking.

Can I register for the ACCA exams myself?

Yes. The ACCA exam session is held four times a year: in June, September, December and March in specially designated centres around the world. You can enrol in your account on the MyACCA website for exams in the selected exam session. The exam fee can be paid with a credit card.

What should I do if the date of one of the ACCA training modules does not suit me?

EY Academy of Business courses are delivered Live Online and recorded. After each module, the training participant receives a recording of the entire module.
