EXEMPTIONS The number of exemptions you can claim will depend on how closely your previous qualifications match the content of the ACCA syllabus. If you have received a degree from ANOTHER COUNTRY outside Egypt, please visit www.accaglobal.com/join/acca/exemptions where a full international database is available. In Egypt , the following institutions have accredited programs with ACCA, awarding exemptions: • AIN SHAMS UNIVERSITY • AL-AZHAR UNIVERSITY • ALEXANDRIA UNIVERSITY • AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO • ARAB ACADEMY FOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY & MARITIME TRANSPORT • ASSIUT UNIVERSITY • CAIRO UNIVERSITY • EGYPTIAN SCHOOL QUALIFICATIONS • EGYPTIAN SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS • HELWAN UNIVERSITY • HIGHER INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES • HIGHER INSTITUTE OF COOPERATIVE & MANAGERIAL STUDIES • HIGHER INSTITUTE OF MODERN ACADEMY • MANSOURA UNIVERSITY • MENIA UNIVERSITY • MENOUFIA UNIVERSITY • MISR UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY • MODERN ACAD FOR COMP SCIENCE & MGT TECH • OCTOBER 6 UNIVERSITY • OCTOBER UNIVERSITY FOR MODERN SCIENCES & ARTS (MSA UNIVERSITY) • SADAT ACADEMY FOR MANAGEMENT SCIENCES • SOUTH VALLEY UNIVERSITY • SUEZ CANAL UNIVERSITY • TANTA UNIVERSITY • ZAGAZIG UNIVERSITY Full details of exemptions awarded to various programmes from these universities can be accessed by visiting www. accaglobal.com /join/acca /exemptions. If you have a qualification from an institution which is not listed on our database, please send your documentation to ACCA for further review. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? The length of time it takes to qualify as an ACCA member depends on you. The ACCA Qualification is designed to be flexible. Although we would always recommend you to complete the practical experience along with passing the exams, it’s up to you to decide how you study, how often you sit exams and where and how you gain your relevant practical experience. You can take a maximum of four exams every six months and combining this with working fulltime would also mean you are simultaneously gaining the practical experience requirement also necessary for membership. On average, an individual registering with the minimum entry requirements, working full-time and studying on a part-time basis would take approximately three to four years to gain their ACCA Qualification. However, depending on your previous qualifications and relevant practical experience, you can complete the qualification much more quickly. A graduate with a relevant degree and a couple of years relevant experience could complete the qualification in as little as one or two years. WHERE ARE THE EXAMINATIONS? When you choose ACCA, you do not need to leave Egypt to sit your exams. We have two Examination Centres in Egypt and more than 160 ACCA examination centres around the world.
