@abistou The exemptions are in ‘ACCA in the exams and fees section

@npc1976 Ill gibe ACCA a few days then I will call them. thanks for the help man

[Firas]

All I can say for certain is I have 0% finance knowledge so regardless of what ACCA I know I need the foundation knowledge. I have emailed the ACCA for advice about the fees.
thank you so much for the help. I will hold off until I hear from ACCA.
By the way, do you know how to book the computer based exams for FIA?

many thanks nps1976

I have emailed them but no response so far. I know I need to do foundation because I know nothing about finance but the fees take the biscuit 🙁

[Firas]

Well I have already registered.
my degree was not on the exemption list so I have to do FIA. I am being charged £62 for exemptions in the following:
FAB, FFA, FMA, FO1, FO2.

If I have to pay, I guess I have to pay. Ill make it back with a good salary I hope 🙂

[Firas]

I guess their point is what is £310 on an accountants salary lol

many thanks for the help guys

[Firas]

so the moral of the story is I have to pay? 🙁

[Firas]

jeez,

so I have to pay for a course I am not doing?? how is that justified??

[Firas]

basically I was going for the FIA because my understanding was I had to.
ACCA say you need 3 GCSE’s AND 2 A Levels to do the main ACCA. I only have 1 A level.
In this case do I need to do FIA or can I do ACCA?
Also, can someone with no financial knowledge do F1 or would you recommend FIA?

thank you so much for the sound advice so far 🙂

[Firas]

You see my degree is computer science, I have to do the intro cert as well as intermediate cert I believe. ACCA says I can’t be exempt from any modules. I also have 4 gcses and 1 a level :s

[Firas]

cheers kerl but, do you mean f1 or fa1? fa1 is foundation i believe

[Firas]

hey there

I am from the engineering side of IT so I can advise on that if you wish?
I basically did tech support. It will take a few years to get good salary in IT
let me know if you need any more advice?
