ACCA website down

optimistic_

Hi everyone,

Have been trying to register since Friday, pages not loading, redirecting to incorrect areas, etc

Rang ACCA in the uk yesterday and they said there's a technical problem, which sort of leaves me screwed to register for December exams.
Does anyone know if the Dublin office will take my registration directly, in person?

Register a call with their help desk/student helpline, get a name etc and tell them what you are trying to do. If they can't take registration i'm sure they will give people extra time to register if the website is down.

The deadline is the 15th of August so you should have time to do it by mail call the office in Dublin and see if they can e-mail you out the forms, part of it must be done by mail anyway AFAIK (photo and declaration).

In the past they've had huge problems with the website around exam entry dates (and result dates) and they've extended the entry periods. They've added a new early deadline to try and redistribute the load for the exam entry but my understanding is they are fully aware that their IT infrastructure isn't up to the task at hand.

I applied today on it and it was slow for about an hour but seems to be up and running now!! Processed my application anyway and gave me a receipt for a credit card payment so all good
