ACCA Study Routes
Most students complete the ACCA qualification in 3 to 4 years, though the exact timing depends on how many papers you attempt at each exam sitting and whether you have any exemptions.
We normally recommend students attempt the papers in order, though papers may be attempted in any order within each module. The modules must be completed in order.
Suggested study routes are given below.
Exam sitting | Standard route | Fast track route |
|---|---|---|
1 | F1 + F2 + F3 | F1 + F2 + F3 |
2 | F4 + F5 (or any two) | F4 + F5 + F6 |
3 | F6 + F7 (or any two) | F7 + F8 + F9 |
4 | F8 + F9 (or any two) | P1 + P2 + P3 |
5 | P1 + P2 + P3 | 2 option papers |
2 option papers |
The fast track route is ideal for those who work in accountancy practice or are given study leave.
Most students follow the standard route and may even only take 1 paper in some exam sittings.
If you are unsure of which paper combinations to take, please call us for advice.
