Structure
This follows on from ACCA Applied Knowledge and consists of six mandatory subjects which are examined individually. To be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business, you must successfully complete all six subjects in addition to the Ethics and Professional Skills module (EPSM). Ideally you should complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module before, or alongside your first Strategic Professional subject. If you leave the EPSM until later on you’ll be at an unnecessary disadvantage. Please contact the ACCA directly to complete this module.
Entry requirements
If you have completed the Applied Knowledge level, the final level of AAT or the Foundation Diploma, you will start studying at the Applied Skills Level.
You should check whether you're eligible on the ACCA website and apply for any exemptions launch before you start studying.
Please be aware, you can only buy up to four subjects in a six month period.
Syllabus
Subjects can be sat in any order, but you should sit AA with or after FR. Students can sit up to four subjects in one exam sitting and a maximum of eight per year. You can overlap with Applied Knowledge as long as this level is being completed.
