Ethics and Professional Skills Module

Yes, it is done directly through ACCA. It's an e-learning course with several modules, and tests you must pass to successfully complete it. There is no study material and no tuition providers, as the material is all contained within the online course.

Thank you so much for the clarification

Hi @cassiemac89, It is expected that the module will take students approximately 20 hours to complete. You can also find this here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html#How-long-does-EPSM-take-to-complete? Hope that helps.

Hello. Please can you advise if there any expiration time or deadlines for this module to be completed, once you signed (paid)/ started it. Thank you in advance.

It is a one-off cost. There is no specified deadline and hence it does not have an expiry. HOWEVER: - you are strongly advised to complete it before attempting ANY of the Strategic Professional exams; - it must be completed before applying for membership; - ACCA can add to the EPSM at any time so any unnecessarily long delay could result in having to complete additional units. See other FAQs here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html#When-should-I-complete-EPSM?

can i complete this module along with Foundations in Professionalism as a foundation student? i have studied FA1 Previously.

They are different things - the one for the Foundation qualification is free - EPSM for the "full" ACCA qualification has to be paid for. A student can only access the module in the qualification that they are signed up to. So if you were to transfer from Foundation qualification to ACCA, you would be expected to work through EPSM before sitting any of the Strategic Professional exams.

Is EPSM test taken at home?

See here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html#When-should-I-complete-EPSM the question "Is there an exam I need to complete as part of EPSM?" It says "There are a series of tests throughout the module and the final unit of the module is an assessment which you will need to pass. If you don’t pass first time, then you will get feedback and you can try again until you are successful ..." This "module" is an online course which you can do at your own pace from wherever you like. Your progress through the module will be saved so whenever you go back to it you can start from where you left off.

can I do it after having only completed Law and Performance Management of the Applied Skills tests?

That is really too soon - I suggest you wait until you are eligible to enter for a strategic professional exam. Otherwise you won't be ready to benefit from it. Hope that makes sense!

thanks for your help!

i dont have my text books and is it possible to get the content online for giving EPSM?

Yes it is an online module - all the content is included in it.

Can anyone tell me whether or not it is mandatory to complete EPSM in order to get Advance Diploma in Accounting and Business?

It is - see https://www.accaglobal.com/sg/en/qualifications/glance/acca/diploma.html

Thank you so much for your reply

If you search for key words phrases you may find answers - I think Rashid you should have asked about this on the PM forum https://opentuition.com/topic/scriba-company/

I took me longer because I was doing it along with other tasks at home and at work. I was scared after a while that it might tell me to start again because I had gone over double the average time but it seems there’s no time limit. Every minute I get I try to do it and sometimes forget I’m doing it while the clock is ticking. I suggest if you’re not able to focus only on it rather than pause the video, close the tab so the clock stops till you log back in

Hi, I have completed the previous professional skills module. Is it mandatory to take up ethics and professional skills module for membership.

See 2nd to last FAQ here: https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html "If I have completed the old Professional Ethics Module do I still need to complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module?" Short answer - no.

No - see here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/affiliates.html It is clear that EPSM and PER are things an affiliate must complete in order to become a member.

Hi, Will I get advanced diploma in accounting and business certificate if I had completed the previous professional ethics module.

See my post above - January 20, 2021 at 12:22 pm See 2nd to last FAQ here: https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/help/faq-ethics.html “If I have completed the old Professional Ethics Module do I still need to complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module?” (Short answer – no, you don't have to do it again.)

Hi Sir, Thanks for the response. I guess you took my question wrong. I'm asking about the Advanced diploma in accounting and business certification. Will I get the certificate if I had completed the previous ethics module or should i complete the New one to get the Advanced diploma certificate.
