If you want to be an accountant, you need a professional accounting qualification.

No matter where you begin your journey, ACCA has the right qualification for you.

If you are a school leaver you can begin with our Foundations in Accountancy suite of awards, ideal for all entry-level students who have no experience of working in accountancy and finance. They can be used as part of an accountancy apprenticeship.

To be a fully qualified accountant, you will then need to complete the ACCA Qualification. The minimum entry requirement is two A Levels and three GCSEs or their equivalent.

We even offer the option for individuals to work towards a degree without having to go to university!
