That’s great information Tammi. Just one more question, I have received notification from ACCA as a reminder to register for the June exams. If I take the exams by CBE, then do I still have to register for June but state that they will be CBE?? Still unclear on that point.

Regards, Gemma.

Hi,
Here is an extract from the acca website that outlines the minimum entry requirements. This is the section on the MSER route which as you say is not available anymore. They have introduced a new route called ‘Foundations in Accountancy’. Here is the extract………..

Removal of the Mature Student Entry Route (MSER)
If you would have normally registered on the ACCA Qualification via the Mature Student Entry Route (MSER), you should now register on Foundations in Accountancy. MSER is no longer available.

This is because now that we have introduced Foundations in Accountancy, which is open entry and does not require you to have any previous academic qualifications to apply, it is possible for you to enter at any level within Foundations in Accountancy, including the Diploma in Accounting and Business.

The exams FAB, FMA and FFA on Foundations in Accountancy are identical to F1, F2 and F3 of the ACCA Qualification. If you would have normally registered on MSER, you are now better placed when you register on Foundations in Accountancy. This is because there is no restriction on the number of exams you take, the order you choose to take them in, or the time you can take to complete FAB, FMA and FFA on Foundations in Accountancy. When you have completed these exams on Foundations in Accountancy, you can transfer over to the ACCA Qualification, miss out these first three exams and start your ACCA Qualification from the fourth exam (F4 – Corporate and Business Law) onwards.
