    I enrolled for the Professional ACCA qualification years ago. I’ve completed 2 exams so far (F1 & F3). Do I have to complete all 13 exams to get any kind of qualifications? Or can I just complete the MA and Ethics and get a Diploma certificate? I can see me doing a couple more but not the whole 13. Any insight would be great

    When you finish the first 4 papers, You get a Diploma.
    The next step is when you finish the first 9 papers (meaning 5 more) and the Ethics module, You get the Advanced Diploma in Business and Accounting

    PS: I am not sure if you need to do the EPSM for the diploma, but i would assume you have to, just to be safe

    Awesome, thank you! 🙂 Would the first 4 papers be – FA, MA, BT & LW?

    See here https://yourfuture.accaglobal.com/global/en/our-qualifications/fundamentals.html
    Under applied knowledge it states:

    “And once you’ve completed these three exams you’ll be awarded the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4)”

    You can’t get diploma certificates (which are foundation awards) because you are registered for the ACCA qualification.
