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.
Name Code Start Time

ACCREDITED TUITION PROVIDER
If you choose to study with a tuition provider, ACCA strongly recommends you opt for one which
is ACCA’s Approved Learning Partner (Platinum or Gold only), as you can be sure:
•
they are monitored by ACCA
•
they meet the minimum quality criteria
•
they receive up-to-date information regarding ACCA
In addition to this, you can find some Subscribers to ACCA’s Tuition Providers Directory that have
not been formally assessed by ACCA. Hence the quality of tuition that students may receive from
these tuition providers cannot be guaranteed by ACCA.
In Egypt at the present time, ACCA has an approved learning partner, as follows:
The Egyptian Banking Institute Gold Status
22 Dr. Anwar El Mofty St., Tibe 2000 Bldg,
Nasar City,11731,Egypt

such teaching partners. For a full listing of Approved Learning Partners and Subscribers to
