Follow our short step-by-step guide to exemptions 
in the related documents to find out how to check what exemptions you may be eligible to claim, then find out online if you could be entitled to claim any exemptions. 
- The exemption enquiry database details all exemptions that may be available on the basis of qualifications held by students. There may not be as many exemptions available to qualifications that have not been accredited by ACCA, as the awarding body has not provided ACCA with the opportunity to fully assess the qualification. ACCA does not consider individual applications for further exemptions.
- ACCA can only award exemption on the basis of qualifications awarded by recognised institutions (i.e. those which are recognised by the local Ministry of Education as public sector institutions, or the equivalent status under their regulations). If your institution is not listed on the exemption enquiry database, please send your documentation to ACCA Connect, for further review.
- Students will be required to pay an exemption fee for each paper awarded. Exemption fees are the same as examination fees.
- You must send official proof of any relevant qualifications which are held, or are currently being studied for, with your registration form, in order for us to assess your eligibility and confirm your entitlement for exemptions.
- Award certificates must be submitted for all completed qualifications. Academic transcripts should also be submitted for any qualification upon which you wish to claim exemption.
- Any documentation which is not in English must be officially translated before submission.
