ACCA drops approved status for manuals

As of 1 September 2024, ACCA ‘s Approved Content Provider programme became the ACCA Content Partner programme.

The two publishers that were approved providers are still currently the only two on the list of content partners – BPP Learning Media and Kaplan Publishing. But, the change to the content partner programme means their learning material will no longer be reviewed by ACCA’s examining team.

As content partners they will, however, still have the right to re-use the latest questions and answers, and have ‘access’ to ACCA examining teams.

However, the option to be a recognised content provider is still being offered for ACCA variant exams and qualifications, other than the main ACCA, Foundation and DipIFR qualifications. These materials, says ACCA “will be assessed by ACCA’s examining team to ensure they are of the very highest quality”.
