The ACA qualification comprises two levels - the Professional Level and Advanced Level modules.

Certificate Level

The Certificate Level consists of six exams which introduce students to the fundamentals of accountancy, business and finance. Each exam is directly relevant to the work that students are doing on a day-to-day basis. 

Professional Level

The six Professional Level exams build on the fundamentals of accountancy, business and finance and test students ability to use technical knowledge in real-life scenarios.

Advanced Level

The Advanced Level consists of two technical papers and a Case Study. These exams present real-life scenarios with increased complexity and implications from the Professional Level.
