Qualifying as an ACCA Accounting Technician ensures that candidates are technically competent in all aspects of accounts support, testing their theoretical knowledge through a set of stringent examinations, and their ability to apply knowledge by assessing their practical experience.
Examinations for Management Accounting and Financial Accounting will take place in December 2011. Examinations for Foundations in Taxation and Foundations in Audit will take place in June 2012.
Students must also complete Foundations in Professionalism, which is an online based module provided by ACCA. Students may complete this at any time during their studies, and can only achieve the overall award once this is completed.
Practical Work Experience
Students must complete one year’s relevant practical experience in any accounting environment to show they can use their knowledge from the exams in the workplace. Experience can be completed before, at the same time or after taking exams.
Embedded Awards
You will be awarded the Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting when you have completed exams FA1 and MA1; the Intermediate Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting when you have completed exams FA2 and MA2; and the Diploma in Accounting and Business when you have completed exams FAB, FMA and FFA. This is a great way to demonstrate to employers your level of knowledge and capabilities and it motivates you to keep studying. Please note you will receive these awards only when you have also completed Foundations in Professionalism.
