ACCA info, key dates & fees

conky_05

I'm not having the best of luck with any firms I've applied to for training contracts with ACA/ACCA. I'm thinking that I'd be more employable if I was to start the exams on my own accord (I'm already exempt from 4 papers through my degree). Can anyone give me any advice on this ?

Just wondering when the cut off is for registering for the ACCA exams in Ireland is ?

Also, what fees are involved ?

Ms Inquisitive

This page- http://www.accaglobal.com/students/acca/info/ -will give you all the details of fees and closing dates etc.

I was in the same position 2 years ago and started of my own accord, got a job shortly afterwards and they are now partially helping out with costs.

The open evening for ACCA courses will take place in all the colleges shortly, go along for more information.

The fees you need to worry about are not with ACCA but with the colleges, but can opt for home-study if finance is an issue.

Hi, so the only fees I can see are :

ACCA Qualification student & MSER fees

Initial Registration £69
Subscription £69
Duplicate card £11
Re-registration fee £69

Exam/Exemption June 2010

Knowledge £55
Skills £69
Professional £81

Whats the story with actual exam fees, are you charged per exam sat, and do you get notes/syllabus info sent out to you ? Tempted to do the working from home option

The CCAinsider

The exam fees are per the exam sat. You choose how many (max 4 per sitting) and where you want to do the exam and you choose home or class room study or even a mixture.

To order acca books do you have to be an acca student? I do aca but I want to get say an acca book to practice different kinds of questions is there any way to get the books without registering for acca and paying fees??

The CCAinsider

Anybody can order the books and there are a number of different suppliers. Post a thread on the best home study material, I never did home study so I can't help.

Ms Inquisitive

I think Griffith offer home study with optional video lectures, can be handy for people who can't travel to Dublin after work.

Personally, I prefer the class structure. There are also on-line supports www.opentuition.com is a worldwide ACCA forum.
