Could you please guide me on how to start my ACCA program, how, time to start, tutorials and it's cost

[@vanshikagarg8674]

I have been inspired by you and now I am pursuing my career in ACCA.I want to study ACCA on my own because I am not financially stable to pay handful amount of money to any institute.What I am afraid of is CBEs and making payments because I don't know how to schedule CBEs/paper based exams and when to make payments.It would be of great help if you post a video about CBEs. Lots of love Belinda❤️

[@fevannahkeziah5216]

Hello,that you for all your ACCA content,it is very helpful. When you self study and register for exams do you go and request at the exam center for you to take the exam there or how do you go about it?

[@user-pv1pe2ej4f]

Hey, can you advise which calculator you used during your ACCA qualification, was it a basic calculator or a scientific calculator? I noticed many students prefer scientific calculators but I’m not quite a fan. I prefer basic calculators so I’m currently using MJ-120D Plus from Casio, would it be a fine choice? Thank you

Is it possible to have n eg of Study plan

[@jeslin.elzit._]

Hello sister First of all I'm grateful to you for giving us a lot of informations. I am looking forward to become an ACCA in the future which is my dream. Now I am in 10th. I have fixed to take commerce in 11th but I have a confusion about taking maths along with commerce or computer. I know that with any of these we can go for ACCA but which one would be more helpful? I would like to take the one that will be in need for ACCA. I will be looking forward for your reply... Please help me friends... I would be really thankful...

[@afrogirldiaries]

Hi Jeslin, I would advise you take what you will enjoy and pass, ACCA does not require you to have studied something relevant beforehand. I did engineering nothing commerce related and I am now fully qualified accountant

[@prince-charlestoby1691]

Hello. I am an engineering graduate however, I am very passionate about accounting and finance and I am considering writing the ACCAs. What are your thoughts on non-finance personnel thinking of taking the exams?

Thank you for the video! I'm 17 at the moment and just graduated from HS. I decided to major in cybersecurity/math for undergraduate degree, but in the future i'm thinking about going cross-disciplinary with accounting. I know I want to get ACCA qualification but rn I feel so lost, cuz I'm not sure how exactly to get going...do I just download the study book&exam kit and learn it all? Anyways, thank you again!

Hi Angela, I purchase my books from Amazon. If you can't obtain ACCA approved study text then you can opt for online subscriptions. There are multiple learning providers who offer online resources. Just ensure they're ACCA approved
