Accreditations
You can qualify for exemptions and potentially gain a professional qualification at an accelerated rate from the following bodies:

Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
The Certified Practicing Accountants Australia (CPA)
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
The Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA)
The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII)
The Association of International Accountants (AIA)
The professional accounting bodies award exemptions in line with a student’s prior learning to provide the quickest possible route to qualification. A student with exemptions gains from an employability perspective. Such students are a good option to a prospective employer as the employer will not have to cover the costs of the professional examinations or provide study leave, which may disrupt the work schedule.

The number of exemptions awarded will be dependent on the programme and modules selected.

You could gain up to the maximum nine exemptions from ACCA exams if you choose the appropriate modules, and be exempt from the first eight exams with CIMA - a great start towards gaining your professional qualification and developing a wealth of industry knowledge to kick-start your career.
