ACCA exam fee increase cancelled for September

ACCA has made the decision not to increase its exam fees for the September 2020 session, unveiled in February.

If any student has already booked a September exam at the previously state higher price, they will now receive a credit to their account with the difference.

ACCA is also reminding students that those committed to continuing their studies completing the Ethics and Professional Skills Module might be a good use of time.

PQ magazine had been talking to ACCA about our concerns over the price hikes.

ACCA run different price bands (A, B and C). However, the standard exam fee for Applied Skills in the UK, for instance, was due to go up from £120 to £130. For the SBL the standard fee would have broken the £200 barrier for the first time  – a rise from £199 to £222. And, the cost of sitting the Strategic Professional (options) was due to go up from £155 to £173 (again at the standard entry rate).

So, what are the September 2020 rates now for UK (price band A) sitters:

Applied Skills

Early entry £114

Standard entry £120

Late entry £307

Ethics & Professional Skills Module

£70

Strategic Professional (essential
