Exam fees for ACCA Qualification students

ACCA has three types of exams for qualification students: knowledge, skills and professional. Knowledge exams are numbered F1, F2 and F3. The fees for these exams are unavailable online. You have to book them at your local centre that deals with computer-based exams (CBE).

Skills exams are numbered F4 through F9. The price depends on when you enter. This is how it works:

March 2018 early entry which closed on November 13, 2017 cost £80;
Standard entry which closes on January 29, 2018 costs £84;
Late entry which closes on February 5, 2018 costs £215;
June 2018 early entry which closes on February 12, 2018 costs £80;
Standard entry which closes on April 30, 2018 costs £84;
Late entry which closes on May 7, 2018 costs £215.

Professional exams mean papers. They are numbered P1 through P7. The system works in the same way as the skills exams, and the deadlines for entry are the same. Here is the detailed breakdown:

March 2018 early entry cost £125;
Standard entry costs £132;
Late entry costs £298;
June 2018 early entry costs £125;
Standard entry costs £132;
Late entry costs £298.

All the closing dates mean that the latest time for registration is 23:59 GMT on the given day. Fees are charged per exam.

But what about the ACCA exemption fees?

If you have been awarded exemption from an ACCA exam, you will have to pay an exemption fee. For every knowledge exam you have an exemption from, you will have to pay £74 (or £37, if you manage to catch a deal). For every skills exam you have an exemption from, you will have to pay £100 (or £54).

Exam fees for Foundations in Accountancy students

When it comes to exam fees for this category of students, it gets complicated, as most of the exams are only available on demand at the CBE centres. This includes exams for the Introductory and Intermediate Certificates in Financial and Management Accounting (MA1, MA2, FA1 and FA2), as well as the FMA, FFA and FAB for a Diploma in Accounting and Business.

Now, if you want to know about the fees for Certified Accounting Technician exams (FAU, FFM and FTX), then they are as follows:

June 2018 early entry which closes on February 12, 2018 costs £74;
Standard entry which closes on April 30, 2018 costs £78;
Late entry which closes May 7, 2018 costs £238.

As for ACCA fees for exemption, there is a single fee of £74 (£37) for most exams. This includes FMA, FFA and FAB for a Diploma in Accounting and Business, as well as FAU, FFM and FTX for the qualification of Certified Accounting Technician. Exemptions from such papers as MA1, MA2, FA1 and FA2 are free.

That is pretty much it for the exam fees. However, we recommend you to stick around a little longer to find out about the contact information of ACCA in Nigeria.
