Find your starting point
Where you begin depends on where you are now.
There is no single entry route into ACCA, and the honest answer for you may not be the most expensive one. Pick the description that fits.
You do not need a degree to start.
Start at Foundation level with two A-levels and three GCSEs, or come in through the Foundations in Accountancy route with no formal qualifications at all. Most of our school-leaver students are earning within eighteen months.
- Entry from age 16 via Foundations in Accountancy
