Forfeiting Exemptions

Hello Olivia! Welcome to our forums. I have been “looking after” this general forum for nearly 4 years and cannot recollect any post about reclaiming exemptions. In this post, for example, https://opentuition.com/topic/should-i-accept-my-acca-exemptions-for-forfeit the general consensus seems to be that students should rarely forfeit but take all the exemptions available to them.

If you completed a form which had these tick boxes and you ticked them, it doesn’t look as though you can get them back:

I confirm that:
• should my educational qualifications entitle me to exemption from the papers listed below then I wish to forfeit my exemption from these papers.
• I understand that I cannot re-claim any forfeited exemption at any time in the future on the basis of the qualification held by me at this time.

If you wanted to try some appeal to ACCA then your first post of call you be to enquire directly https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/footer-toolbar/contact-us.html

If you don’t get anywhere it may cheer you to know that exemptions don’t come for free – current fees are £98 per applied knowledge exam and £123 per applied skill exam (UK fees) – the Applied Skills exam fee is currently £143 – so just £20 more. Also, as the first post discusses, you will be far better prepared for the later exams if you really do have the assumed knowledge and skills of the underpinning exams.

And, apart from a current Revision Kit which you can buy from BPP with a 20% discount voucher https://opentuition.com/20-discount-bpp-books you can get all the resources you need to pass FOR FREE from OpenTuition https://opentuition.com/acca
