Can I skip FA1&2 and MA 1&2??

AAstitva8mo ago
I have encountered numerous sources/people claiming that, only if i clear FBT, FFA and FMA in FIA route, I will be eligible to jump to the next level, and eventually will. This created a confusing situation for me. Can you guys just guide me towards it? They also had this explanation that ACCA focuses on these 3 exams, as they are also part of the knowledge level.

Up. Need same answer. I still think you still need to have qualifications for ACCA.

I am confused about the title of yor post. However, to move from FIA into the main ACCA Qualification, you need to pass FBT, FMA and FFA (plus the Foundations in Professionalism module if you want the formal Foundation Diploma). These three papers are treated as equivalent to ACCA’s Applied Knowledge exams (BT, MA, FA), so once you pass them you skip the Applied Knowledge level and start directly at Applied Skills.
