A key component of the ACCA Qualification is gaining relevant practical experience. As an ACCA member, you will need to be equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to meet different challenges in your career. ACCA’s practical experience requirement (PER) enables you to apply the knowledge gained through your exams; and develop the skills, attitudes and behaviours that you will need to demonstrate as a qualified accountant. PER provides a framework for achievement, confirming effective and sustainable workplace performance, making you a more valuable employee.

More detailed information on the Practical Experience Requirement can be found on the ACCA website using the link below
Practical Experience Requirement

As part of their ethical development, students will be required to complete a Professional Ethics module, developed by ACCA. This is an online training module, exposing students to ethical scenarios which they will test themselves on. They can take on the role of an Auditor or a Corporate Financial Accountant and review an audit situation. This module must be completed by a student before applying for membership. The module is not graded but has been a requirement for all students who have registered with ACCA since 1 January 2007. Students are granted access to the Ethics module as soon as they are eligible to take P1 Professional Accountant. The module can then be taken whenever wanted, but the ACCA recommends that it is best taken at the same time as, or before, sitting the P1 Professional Accountant paper.
