ACCA Course Offerings at RMI

ACCA’s foundation-level qualifications – known collectively as ‘Foundations in Accountancy’ (FIA) – comprise three Diplomas that are based on 7 subject papers. Each Diploma is completed in succession as one progresses to the ACCA Qualification.

The Diplomas provide a choice of starting points so whatever your existing experience, you can take a step towards a globally recognized qualification. They are suitable for you if you are just starting out in finance or, if you work in finance but have no professional qualification to show for your experience yet.

In addition to the technical exams, you will also need to complete a professionalism and ethics module called ‘Foundations in Professionalism’ before you can be awarded the relevant diploma qualification.

We offer two ways to study ACCA FIA qualifications:

• Tutor-led study courses
• Online, self-paced study courses

Choose to study accounting with ACCA and they will provide you with skills and knowledge relevant to any business, which means you are free to choose which type of accountancy role and organisation you want to work for.

There is a strong focus on professional values, ethics and governance. This is essential because the profession is moving towards strengthened codes of conduct, regulation and legislation, which is why the ACCA qualification has an increased focus on professionalism and ethics in accounting.

Professionalism and ethics is examined at the highest level in the ACCA Qualification. It is also a main part of the practical experience you must complete to qualify.

To qualify as an ACCA member, you will need to complete:

• Exams - a minimum of five of 14 exams (nine are eligible for exemption*).
• Experience - record 36 months' experience in a relevant role.
• Ethics - the Professional Ethics module.

To start studying the ACCA qualification, there are minimum entry requirements of two A-Levels and three GCSE’s (or equivalent). If you do not meet these requirements, you can start with a Foundations in Accountancy qualification and then progress to ACCA.

We offer three ways to study ACCA qualification:

Research has shown that taking practice exams can meaningfully improve one’s chance of passing an ACCA exam. This testing platform has been created with this mind.

Some students struggle with the transition to Computer Based Exams (CBEs) for all ACCA subjects, for the new format requires one to engage the exam content entirely within the context of a computer screen. Thus, one must not only know the exam content but also have the skill to demonstrate their learning by means of computer.

Our exam practice courses provide you with a testing platform to address these challenges. It allows you to become familiar with the CBE format while also testing your knowledge and practicing the application of your learning. This increases your confidence and chances of success when you take your exam.

Practice exam course are available for all ACCA skills and strategic level papers (excluding corporate and business law).

Each course includes:
• 3 full ACCA-standard mock CBEs
• Model Answers and marking guidance
• Tutor video debriefs
• Exam & script writing tips
• Live progression tracking
• Student data and results

Fees:
$35.00 early bird to 25th February 2022
