Students should use the online My Experience tool, which is accessed though myACCA, to plan and record your achievement of the Practical Experience Requirement (PER). You should start recording progress towards completing PER as soon as possible. Click here for more information.
Detailed ACCA fees (fees in sterling paid directly to ACCA) are as follows:
This information can be found in the study syllabus for each exam.
But basically, the first three exams of the ACCA Diploma exams last 2 hours and contains 25 objective questions.
ACCA Advanced Diploma exams are 3-hour, 15-minute exams with a combination of objective and discursive questions.
The Practical Experience Requirement (PER) is a key component of the ACCA qualification. 3 years (36 months) of accounting or finance experience is required which can be acquired before, during or after studying for the ACCA exams.
This experience can come from conventional work, volunteering or part-time work. As long as it’s relevant work. The main areas are accounting, finance, insolvency, auditing, taxation, among others. The important thing is that activities related to these areas and your supervisor can sign off on performance goals and the time you spent on those activities.
There is a list of objectives you can complete to complete this requirement. Your supervisor will check your practical activities and you will make updates online on ACCA’s own website.
See the advantages of having these experiences:

No. You can complete the PER until you finish all the exams. However, to become fully qualified, you must have PER before taking the full qualification.
In your “My ACCA” area you will have a section to fill in this experience and keep track of how much is left to complete according to each performance objective. The first thing to do is register who will be your supervisor and send them an invitation to confirm that they will supervise you. Only after that person accepts the invitation can you start filling in your experiences for the PER. For each requirement you fulfill, the supervisor will sign a document attesting to the activities carried out.
PER is closely related to the ACCA study program, so your direct boss, the director, a person who followed your work (even if he is no longer an employee of the same company as you later) can attest that you performed relevant functions to what is required in the ACCA. It is important that it is a person who has worked closely with you and who can verify the data you are providing.
This person needs to be a certified accountant registered with the CRC or a member of an international institution. However, the supervisor who certifies the time in the activities does not need this qualification, only the supervisor who will sign your performance objectives. After all, it’s not always the same person.
The sooner you get it the better, because it’s 3 years of experience so it takes a lot of time. Ideally, you should be able to combine this experience while taking the exams.
If the institution is in the platinum or gold category, you can apply for the PER exemption, as ACCA considers that this company already offers all the necessary training for you to acquire the relevant experience.

ACCA has a time limit rule for students to complete their Strategic Professional exams which means employers can be confident that students have relevant and up-to-date knowledge to enhance their organisations.
The rule means you have seven years to pass the Strategic Professional exams once you pass your first Strategic Professional exam. If you don’t pass all the Strategic Professional exams and reach affiliate status within seven years, you’ll lose any Strategic Professional passes achieved after seven years. These will need to be re-taken in order to complete the qualification.
You can check out everything related to Time Limits for ACCA Exams at this link https://www.accaglobal.com/vn/en/student/getting-started/rules-and-regulations-for-students/time-limits.html
