I want to do chartered accountancy
I am a student currently doing my A-levels. I would like to do the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) course, but am facing some problems related to its recognition in the UAE.

What problems do students face if they pursue an unrecognised degree?

Can you also provide me with an email address of the higher officials at the education ministry so I can contact them directly?

The ACCA, a professional accountancy body in the UK that operates internationally also offers its courses in Audit and Financial Management in India.

The ACCA exam is divided into three stages and is conducted three times a year under the supervision of the British Council. There is no age limit.

You can register with ACCA after 10+2 (provided you have scored 65 per cent marks in English and Mathematics). BCom students can claim an exemption from papers 2 and 4.

Those who have passed CA/MBA or MCom can claim exemption from all four papers from the foundation stage.

The ACCA Professional Scheme is a highly relevant, targeted combination of study and practical experience.

The syllabus is a result of extensive research and consultation with governments, students, colleges and employers from a range of public and private sector organisations.

This is a certification course that doesn't require any equivalency certificate while applying for jobs.
You can visit www.accaglobal.com for more details.

For more information get in touch with ACCA Middle East:

The higher education response has been provided by Subramanian K.,director of Meccademia, a Dubai Knowledge Village-based Indian education organisation.
