Course Overview

IBAT is a Gold Approved learning provider of ACCA. The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants is the world’s largest and most respected professional accountants association, with more than 370, 000 students and members in 170 countries worldwide. The ACCA Qualification successfully combines practical experience and professional exams. The papers are based on international accounting and auditing standards.

The fundamental level on this course is divided into three modules knowledge, skills and essentials. The knowledge module (F1–F3) introduces students to the core areas of financial and management accounting. This provides the platform from which the other technical accountancy areas will be studied in greater detail in the skills module. The skills module (F4–F9) contains six subjects which comprehensively cover the main technical technical areas that any accountant – regardless of their future career aspirations – are expected to have mastered.

The Professional level - Essentials (P1-P2) have been set at an intellectual level equivalent to that expected of a student taking a Masters degree. The focus of the syllabus at this level is to build upon the technical skills already acquired, and explore more advanced professional skills, techniques, and values that are required and used by the expert accountant acting in an advisory or consultancy role at a senior level. All students must complete the three papers in the Essentials module. The Options module contains four papers. These are directly underpinned and supported by their equivalent within the Skills module in the Fundamentals level. These exams assess the more advanced and sophisticated techniques that a professional needs in order to specialise in specific areas at work, or to follow as a career pathway in an advisory or consultancy role. Students select two out of four Option papers and are advised to choose the options that relate to their chosen or anticipated field of work.
