Woman working on laptop

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is one of the world’s most prestigious accounting qualifications, recognised in over 180 countries.

ACCA offers a comprehensive pathway to becoming a certified accountant, with a focus on both technical skills and ethical practices. Whether you’re aiming for a career in auditing, taxation, or financial management, ACCA provides the knowledge and credentials needed to excel in the global finance industry.

Why pursue ACCA?

Global recognition: ACCA is widely recognised by employers and governments, making it a valuable qualification for those seeking international opportunities.

Comprehensive curriculum: The ACCA curriculum covers essential areas of finance and accounting, ensuring that once you’re fully qualified, you’re well-equipped to handle complex financial scenarios.

Career flexibility: ACCA professionals work in various roles across industries, from auditing and consulting to finance management and beyond.

Career progression: Discover new roles such as financial accountant, auditor, finance manager, CFO, or even move into strategic leadership positions within global finance and business management.

Gain a new qualification: Once completed, you’ll have done a qualification equivalent to a Master’s degree, and can put ACCA after your name, beginning your career as a professional accountant.

Learn new skills: You’ll learn so much, including financial management, taxation, auditing, strategic planning, and ethical decision-making, enhancing your expertise in global accounting and business practices.

Increase your salary: Obtaining the ACCA qualification can significantly increase your salary potential by enhancing your expertise and opening up higher-level roles in finance and accounting globally.

Study methods

At Kaplan, we understand that different students have different needs, which is why we offer two structured study methods for ACCA - Classroom and LiveOnline. Both are designed to provide comprehensive support and a structured learning environment, helping you succeed in your ACCA exams.

Classroom learning: the traditional yet effective approach

Our Classroom study method is perfect for those who prefer face-to-face interaction and a structured learning schedule. With experienced tutors, interactive sessions, and peer support, our Classroom courses provide an immersive learning experience. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in discussions, and benefit from real-time feedback from your tutors. This method is ideal for students who thrive in a traditional learning environment and value the discipline of a fixed schedule.

LiveOnline: flexibility meets real-time learning

For those who need flexibility but still want the benefits of live interaction, our LiveOnline courses are the perfect solution. LiveOnline offers the best of both worlds - live, tutor-led classes you can attend from anywhere, combined with the structure and interactivity of a classroom setting. You'll be able to ask questions, participate in discussions, and engage with your peers and tutors in real time, all from the comfort of your home. This method is ideal for students who need to balance their studies with work or other commitments.

Other study methods available

If you’re a more independent student we also have OnDemand and Distance Learning - designed with less structure so you need to be disciplined and committed to your studies.

Why choose Kaplan for ACCA?

At Kaplan, we’re committed to your success. Whether you choose Classroom or LiveOnline, you’ll receive:

Expert tutors: Learn from industry professionals who bring real-world experience into the classroom.

Comprehensive resources: Access a wealth of study materials, including practice questions, mock exams, and study notes.

Personalised support: Our tutors and support teams are dedicated to helping you succeed, offering guidance and motivation every step of the way.
