If you are looking for a rewarding career in finance and accountancy and you live in Pakistan or Bangladesh, then our Foundation Diploma is designed just for you.
Once you have completed the exam portion of the Diploma, you'll be eligible to transfer to the ACCA Qualification with exemptions from our Applied Knowledge exams.
In order to receive the Foundation Diploma - a qualification recognised by local education authorities - you simply need to undertake the exams and also take our Foundations in Professionalism module.
You can even do this once you have transferred to the ACCA qualification, provided you have completed all of the necessary exams.
The Foundation level is the best preparation for the ACCA Qualification if you don’t have any other qualifications or experience. Complete the diploma and you can be automatically transferred onto the ACCA Qualification, free of charge, and given free exemptions from the first three exams.
You could start the Foundation Diploma after completing O’ Levels, Matriculation or Intermediate if you are based in Pakistan; or O’ Levels or SSC exam if you are based in Bangladesh.
ACCA’s Foundation Diploma is your first step to becoming a professional accountant. You’ll get a better job and be paid more if you have a qualification in a profession that is in demand (like Accountancy). ACCA’s Students and affiliates salary and career survey 2012 reported that ACCA students and affiliates around the world frequently earn salaries that exceed the national average across professions.
With computer-based exams available on-demand throughout the year and paper-based exams available twice a year, you could complete the entire Foundation Diploma and be registered as an ACCA student in less than 12 months. And there’s no time limit for completing the exams.
You pay for your fees as you go along, so there are no big upfront costs. The Foundation Diploma is a lower cost alternative to University, and you can study and work at the same time. You can be transferred free of charge onto the ACCA Qualification once you’ve completed it, with free exemptions for the Applied Knowledge exams.
