How long does it take to study?
From the first exam to the highest level, the study can be completed in one year, depending on the pace you choose. In fact, there is no time limit for studying.
Typically, students plan to take one FIA level per year, which they will complete in approximately 2 months.
During the course of your studies, once you have completed each level of study, you will receive the relevant certificates as proof.
Exams
Exams – Computer Based Exams (CBE) follow the completion of each course. Exams are held continuously throughout the year at a licensed CBE center, last two hours, and you will receive your results as soon as they are completed. A registration form with CBE dates can be found below. An ACCA registration number and ID card are required to take the exam.

In order to obtain the certificate, the ethics module must be taken during the course of study, either before or after completing the individual exams. You only need to take the module once, regardless of how many levels of exams you have already achieved.
