Our philosophy is simple: there is more to learning than just finding information. For meaningful learning to take place that information must be structured and sequenced in such a way that a learner can move systematically from basic ideas and skills to more sophisticated ones. The strategies that work best in this process vary with the particular areas of interest concerned.
The founders of Global Accountancy College merge the skills and experience of university professors, certified classroom teachers, private instructors, curriculum and evaluation specialist, an educational philosopher, and university-based researchers into the effective uses of Web-based learning, in addition to a Web designer and a multimedia specialist.

About the ACCA Qualification
The ACCA Qualification develops accounting knowledge and skills as well as professional values. Once candidates complete the exams, practical experience requirement and Professional Ethics module, they become an ACCA member and can use the ACCA letters after their name.
ACCA offers paper-based exams in over 400 examination centers in more than 170 countries in June and December each year. Computer-based exams (CBEs) are available for the first seven papers (excluding the options papers) within the Foundations in Accountancy suite of awards and
the Knowledge level (F1-F3) of the ACCA Qualification. All exams are set and marked to the same high standard regardless of location.
About Foundations in Accountancy
ACCA has launched a new entry-level suite of qualifications - Foundations in Accountancy - which was first examined in December 2011. Foundations in Accountancy consists of a suite of qualifications, including certificates and diplomas. The goal of these qualifications is to
provide even greater access to the ACCA Qualification and offer individuals a flexible range of qualifications to help them develop the relevant technical knowledge and practical skills required to perform in accounting technician roles. We have identified the Diploma in Accounting and
Business as the most relevant to those embarking on a professional career in accountancy.
Diploma in Accounting and Business
The Diploma in Accounting and Business is awarded upon the successful completion of three exams: F1/FAB, F2/FMA and F3/FFA and completion of a module on professionalism and ethics: “Foundations in Professionalism”. The Diploma is suitable for those aspiring to work or already working in the following types of roles:
- Basic bookkeeping
- Trainee accountant in a commercial organization or accounting practice
- Accounts clerk in public sector
The Diploma in Accounting and Business is broadly equivalent to a Higher National Diploma (HND) level (equivalent to the first year of a degree).
ACCA also offers an Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business which forms part of the main ACCA Qualification.
Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business
This Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business is awarded to candidates who have completed, or are exempt from, all the Fundamentals level exams of the ACCA Qualification (i.e. F1 – F9 inclusive). To be eligible to receive the Advanced Diploma candidates must pass
all the Skills module exams (i.e. F4 – F9) for which they are not exempt (a minimum of two) and complete a Professional Ethics module.
