How to become an ACCA member

There are three parts to the qualification: 1) the examination syllabus, 2) practical experience and 3) a professional ethics module.

Following the route offered by the 肆客足球 of Stellenbosch, a student has to register for the BCom (Financial Accounting)-degree (3 years). Currently students studying through Stellenbosch 肆客足球 are exempted from the first nine exam papers of the ACCA syllabus, which is also the maximum exemption that could be awarded by ACCA.

To qualify as an ACCA member, learners have to demonstrate that, in addition to passing the examinations, they have met ACCA's practical experience requirements. All learners are required to obtain a minimum of three years' relevant supervised accountancy experience and meet the minimum competence requirements for membership. Details of the learner's practical training and experience must be recorded in the Trainee Development Matrix.

Within these requirements, ACCA offers you the maximum possible flexibility, enabling you to match work experience to ACCA's training requirements in a variety of ways. For example, you can:

• obtain the practical experience required for membership either before, during or after completion of the examinations
• gain the experience in any business sector or combination of sectors (e.g. corporate sector, public sector or public practice)
• gain the experience in any size or type of business
  
  In addition to all the technical skills and capabilities assessed throughout the ACCA Qualification, central to ACCA's mission and core values is the requirement that students learn about and demonstrate ethical values and professionalism. ACCA students are required to complete an online training professional ethics module.
