What do you need to know before starting your ACCA journey?
All the things to know before embarking on ACCA journey.
I have been on this journey a couple of years back and are now enjoying the benefits of completing my ACCA.
I have completed my Certified Chartered Accounting qualifications in June and became an ACCA member in July 2019. This was the most challenging and rewarding journey I have ever been on.

I have pass all final papers in one go from 2021- 2022. Candidates seriously need to have the right mindset , need to prepare to sacrifice your time for family, entertainment etc. especially 1 month before the exam. Consistently study smart and practicing 3 months before exam will help maximising your passing chance.
Wow well done for first time passes. I totally agree it is a short term sacrifice for long term rewards kind of a thing. How did this help you in your career. Do you mind sharing what changed after becoming acca member ?
Thank you very much for this video 🙏 highly appreciated !!! And especially thank you for including all the relevant links in the description - you have no idea how much time and effort they save us !
Glad it was helpful! Comments like yours makes me think that what I do here is all worthwhile !
Hi Agnes, a very useful video - thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Please dont forget to share it so it helps my channel grow.
Really appreciated please atleast make 1 video per week about acca I am also a acca student myself and looking for a great career ahead with it
I would love to do more just running out of ideas so if you have some please drop them in the comments. Thank you
Hi Agnes. I'm a Brazilian and I was looking for a video like your that it helps others to understand this exam. Thanks for sharing your information and these links. Have a good day.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you find other videos from my professional studies series as I think they might help you. Thank you for watching
Thanks so much for this video Agnes 🤗
Thank you for watching and comment. How has your journey with acca been so far ?
@@AgnesMann Got SBL SBR and AAA to complete. I'm done with AFM. Just gave my SBR and AAA exams this June. Awaiting results. Hope I manage to get through.If it all goes well, I'l only have SBL to take in September then. Fingers crossed
@@larachandini I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Let me know when you get your results.
@@AgnesMann will surely let u know :) Thanks so much.. have a lovely day
Very helpful im doing it 21 years now
you are trying to qualify from the last 21 years?
Very useful ❤️✨
Glad you think so!
thank you
You're welcome. What stage of ACCA journey are you at?
Very useful ......
Glad to hear that
Very good 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, could you perhaps shed some insight on to your financial career path. Obviously not giving specifics, but maybe a job title pathway such as: your first job title after you got your acca and then what job title or position you moved to them... etc, until you got the role as a FC
Hi. I have shared it in my vidoes so if you would like to see it please watch my ACCA playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLnrh22bb-ZG2K_Em3-x8MQHgTt8DOyexJ.html
OMG! as I understanding you already have F level exampted just P level 4 subjects you used 3 years to complete, must be quite challeging! but you are still good. I am worrying🙃
Yes, back when I was doing my exams used to be 5 P papers. Now two of them were merged into one. But still I failed a lot as I had a family, full time job and house to run, so not had much time/ entry left to prepare. I know people who never failed a paper so you might just be one of those clever ones! Good luck, you can do it!
@@AgnesMann thank you so much for the encouragement😃, as the description of your situation was and you are smart enough👍, good to know you! Again thank you!
Thank you mam
Most welcome 😊 Are you too studying to become ACCA?
thank you so much for this video highly appreciated! I'm one of the many viewers that you inspired. btw i recently arrived here in UK under dependant partner visa. i'm CPA in my country having a cumulative 7 years (3 years and worked 4 years in UAE) of experience in accounting and auditing however i think it was not recognized here . I've been actively looking for a job and sending applications daily but unfortunately up until now got no work and no interviews. so I am thinking to pursue ACCA then emailed ACCA to check for any exemptions and luckily i was entitled for 4 exemptions (BT, MA, FA, LW). Now my questions is - if I'll take exam only and so not enrolled as students, are there any employer that can hire me (in order to earn to help my partner while self-studying(unenrolled in UK univ)? tia :)
If you have acca qualifications you will get work in UK. You don't have to attend any schools or college
Hey Agnes, what will you suggest choosing between England and Germany for job perspective after doing ACCA
I never worked in Germany but I know German market is just as good as in the UK, so I think either option would be good
Hi, I have recently graduated from university and got all 9 exemptions. I am working as a purchase ledger and was wondering if this would count as PER. I might have to pay for my exams so was wondering if working as an entry-level accounting would still count towards it. This way I can get one part of my ACCA complete.
Yes I will count for your PER and don’t forget to record it on my acca. Good luck you haven’t got too far to go to be a member of acca
Hi Agnes! Is ACCA learning and certification done purely online???
No it doesn’t have to be. You choose how you prepare for the exams (online or in class). The exams are now online only I believe but back pre covid they were actually held in the exam hall and not sure if this had been restored to pre covid way or is it still all online. But the the way you study is up to you. Hope that helps
Hi Agnes, great content about ACCA. I am currently at the Strategic level. I have been using Acowtancy for skills papers. All I did was watch the classroom videos and did questions, thats it. I managed to pass my skills papers like this. Is this method of just watching the Acowtancy classroom videos along with doing past questions enough to pass the strategic level?
Also regarding practice questions, did you use either a practice exam kit from kaplan or BPP?
Thanks:)
Yes Acowtancy classes are enough plus the past papers, just trust Richard he will guide you what you need to do. I did not use any practice kit, just printed lots of past papers and went though these.
Thank you so much, please share my videos around so others get help too.
Thanks it is very helpful but i also want to ask if it is possible to do ACCA course when you have only o level results and no A level results
I am not sure actually. You can find these info on acca global website - enty requirements
Hello Agnes Mann, Thanks for your useful videos. I’m from africa now i live in Germany and my i have Bachelor degree of Accounting but unfortunately they didn’t recogniseed neither Germany nor ACCA ecexmptions calculater, So my question is what is yout recommendation to To start ACCA as beginner or any thing else?
Acca is best so yes I’d recommend it
Hi, I also received 9 exemptions from uni which I just graduated from a few months ago and found an employer to support me through ACCA. Do you think it’s worth claiming exemptions or to just start ACCA from the very start because I’m really worried about struggling with my first paper which will be the strategic ones also previously known as the P papers as I won’t be used to an ACCA paper or may struggle because I didn’t do the previous papers linking to that one? I’m really in need for some advice so would appreciate it!
Congratulations on graduating. I would definitely encourage you to claim the exemptions. You are fresh from uni so still in study mode and you will be fine with P papers. Good luck
@@AgnesMann thank you for the advice!
VERY GOOD 👍
Thank you! Cheers! Are you too doing ACCA?
@@AgnesMann Yes
@@ThisIsShivamHere. at what stage ?
@@AgnesMann I'm at knowledge stage
Hey can you tell me something about avg salary of an acca in uk
Sure I have actually covered it in my previous video- please check the description below the video - I’ve listed it. Alternatively see a few videos back you will find this topic covered in the video. Please comment on it so I know you have found it and also if you have any more questions after watching it. Thank you
Hii , I want to know is it is necessary to go to university for acca or we can only take online tuition classes , do answer
I am answering- You do not need to go to university first - online classes will suffice to pass ACCA exams
how do i get the work experience for the ACCA qualification with no prior experience
Start of small clerical jobs that requires no or little experience
Hi Agnes. Which qualifications (AAT or ACCA) in your opinion is better for beginners and why? Thank you x
I think Acca is most recognisable and If you’re planning to go all the way in your carrier I’d choose acca. If you want to easier path and quick accounting entry jobs then aat is good to start with.
Can say something about a study plan for a working professional? Something like how much time is to be devoted on daily basis?
What a great idea I shall put this together and post in next few weeks. Just as a tip for you- study every day at least half hour at the beginning, and more whenever possible with regular breaks and recaps. During revision (3/4 weeks before exam) try 2/3 hours daily. Also remember that every one is different and what works for me might not work for you etc. Stay tuned for my video. Good luck
Hey Agnes can you tell me about cima exemptions after acca
For what I know they are pretty similar courses so why don’t you call acca and get them to confirm exactly or you can check on acca website with exemptions calculator. I hope this helps
@@AgnesMann no actually I wanted to know about cima exemption after acca but that is not available on any website
@@khushjain2684 I see sorry I miss understood the question. If you have cima why do acca? It’s same qualifications and gets you as far as acca
@@AgnesMann ohh okay thanks
Hello Agnes Mann. First of all, thank you very much for your ACCA informative videos. I started living in London 6 months ago. I am Turkish. I have 20 years of experience as a certified public accountant (CPA) in Turkey. I registered with ACCA and got exemption from 9 courses. My English is unfortunately not good. My English is at B1 level. The courses I have to take the exam are: 1- Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA) 2- Strategic Business Leader (SBL) 3- Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) I also need to complete the Ethics and Professionalism course. I booked for Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA) exam in September 2021. First of all, I am trying to improve my English. What other route would you suggest I follow? If I am successful in these courses, what jobs can I get into in the UK? In which field would you recommend me to work in order to gain work experience in the UK? I want to work on Audit, thanks.
Hi Kursat (I gather that’s your name). I would suggest looking for a similar type of jobs you have had back home so that at least your skills match up to job specs. Don’t worry about English- this is not what they checking as long as you can explain your logic. Grammar and spelling it’s not penalised. As to work experience I would go for accounting practice with audit. London has ample of opportunities and now the market is opening up so you should find the job soon with so much experience. Good luck
Love from india❤
Thank you. Are you also studying for ACCA
@@AgnesMann i wish to study yours words are so helpful
How is the job oppurtunity after achieving acca
How much time it will take
@@peakyblinders4159 what is stopping you
@@peakyblinders4159 it took me several years to become acca member but the door really opens up since you are a member
Hello my friend 👍
Hello 👋 thank you for the visit!
Tell me something, I am looking forward to learn with ACOWtancy. Do they provide textbooks and are there any additional support outside from the prerecorded sessions?
Hi Marcus. They used to answer questions on emails basis but you get online textbook and prerecorded tuitions.
@@AgnesMann Thank you very much. They seem very non traditional in their approach to teaching and I am looking for that moving forward.
@@marcusmoralie9307 yes it is why I chose to study with them. Super approachable and almost fun to study... Richard (the owner) is making accounting seem easy almost...
@@AgnesMann Thank you for the assistance. If I have any questions, I'll come to you.
No problem that’s why I’m here. Good luck
how about if i have qualifications to start but no accounting background , do i start at level 2 or the foundation level ?
you have not told me what qualifications you have so can't answer this question. It is worth checking with ACCA exemption calculator so you can check yourself.
@@AgnesMann just the regular high school diploma & collect degree in business studies
@@kizzyrichards6255 check the Calculator it Will help you get the idea how many exemptions you can get
I'm not sure if I made myself clear or not . I'm not asking about exemptions.
I'm saying I want to start acca , and I can eitheir start at the acca qualifications which I meet the requirements for , but I was also thinking maybe I should start at the foundations level seeing that I have no experience at all in accounting . I was just asking to get a better idea on what to do.
@@kizzyrichards6255 if you can do the foundation then you should to get a head start. You need to decide how much time you can allow yourself to complete it all. Benefits vs costs analysts should be considered too.
I am 16 and done with my gcse am i eligible for acca foundation
Best is to check with acca themselves as it will depend on your grades etc
I basically from India, i doing CA India but i will working in USA that which is the best ACCA or US CPA..
How can I contact with you.please tell.
Thanks
You can email me on Agnes.mumcandoit@gmail.com. In USA they recognise CPA more that ACCAso I heard but not sure if that’s true.
can an Indian student study ACCA in UK after 12th grade?
I am not sure, you would need to check with ACCA. If you wish I give you the link, let me know
After I complete my BA in accounting and finance on jan 2027 ill have 9 exemptions. How long do u think it might take me to give the rest of the exams and get the certification?
Depends on how quick you pass you exams... might take a year or more. good luck
Can non accounting students do ACCA?
By starting acca you become accounting student.😉 You do need some education background though and best thing is to check it agains Acca requirements on their website or call them up. Hope that helps
Hi, so you only had to do about 4 exams? Due to your exemptions?
I had to do 5 (pre 2019 there was 5 P papers which then was merged into 4 ). Are you studying as well to become ACCA?
@@AgnesMann I had been studying CIMA but I just don’t enjoy it. So I am considering changing over, I would only have 4 exams left if I switched over. What resources did you use you study? Or you could just link one fo your vids which you think would help!😃
@@SeanKaitano in that case try Acowtancy. They do both cima and acca. I did post a video on how to pass acca exams using this resource so give it a watch (look for my previous videos it acca playlist )
@@AgnesMann thanks! Also how
Long did eat take you to finish each exam? About 3 months each?
@@SeanKaitano it was varied depending on the paper. I took 3 years to pass 5 papers as I kept failing it. Only one papers I’ve actually manage to pass as the first attempt but other once it was two to three attempts. It takes about 6 - 8 weeks to prepare for the exam depending on how much you study and how quick you learn
Hi which test i learn f1
Hi not sure what you’re asking for please expand on it
@@AgnesMann I am studying acca how to solve BT paper
@@funnytalks1298 you have to study the syllabus and practice past papers. Best to sign up with some online courses so that you have insight of how to resolve them
@@AgnesMann how to sign online??
@@funnytalks1298 yes you can try Acowtancy website it’s really good and cheap
9:24 😂😂🤣🤣took you long enough
yes it was a very long journey... nevertheless.. I DID IT ✌️
Can I start job after completing all 13 papers ?
You should start jobs before studying as a matter of fact. Only after 36 months of professional experience (proven ) and 13 papers you can qualify. The sooner you start work experience the better (must be accounts role)
@@AgnesMann My question is that a condition for studying ?
Sorry that’s an incomplete question. What do you mean
Did you take any exemptions?
yes. I did. 9.
@AgnesMann thanks for the reply! Do you think my exemptions would affect my employability chances? I'm worried employers would look at me less favourably due to my 7 exemptions.
@@scar.tissue3122 no! No one asks how you get there, they just see your a member of ACCA and that’s great. No one asks your marks either. So don’t worry do you take exemptions because why would you want to spend all this extra time and money to pass these exams through
Acca
@@AgnesMann thanks!
U know a person who has done full ACCA in 1 year with 4 exemptions
No I do not. It is not possible and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to put themselves into such pressure. Also you can only sit up to 8 exams per year I think so won’t be possible to do 9 in one year

Hi 👋
Please tell me email

What’s the difference between ACCA & ICAEW please
It is a different professional body that does the same thing.. Although I must say ACCA is more recognisable worldwide.
Are you considering which one to choose?
@@AgnesMann no thanks, our son did the other one ICAEW when he was at one of the Big four accounting firms in London years ago. Just wondering what the difference was between ACA, ACCA,ICAEW , my understanding is that ACCA you can study and pass in your own time like my sister in law did but not the ICAEW for that you must work in a firm and complete so many hours while revising and taking exams or modules every so many months over three years.
