Exemptions let you start your studies at a level that's consistent with the knowledge and skills gained from prior learning. So, we recommend that you apply for exemptions as soon as possible.
Check your eligibility
Before applying, you can use our exemption calculator to check if your qualifications make you eligible for exemptions. It’s a quick and easy way to find out what you might be entitled to.
Ready to apply? Not yet registered?
If you're not yet registered with ACCA, you can apply for exemptions when you join. Your eligibility for exemptions will be assessed as part of your registration application. Register here to start your application journey with ACCA.

Documents you’ll need
To apply for exemptions, you'll need to send copies of the following:
Completion certificate(s)
Full course transcript detailing subject names, module codes and marks achieved
An official English translation (if required, see below for more details)
Official evidence of name change (e.g. marriage certificate or deed poll) if your current name differs from the name on your education documents
Translation requirements
If any of your documents are not in English, they must be officially translated by a licensed translator. A copy of your documents in their original language should be submitted together with the official translation.
