Dividing them so makes it easier to calculate and visualise the cost segregation. This blog talks about ACCA course costs and ways to efficiently save money.

NOTE: that the following rates are subject to change based on ACCA regulations and currency exchange fluctuations.

The ACCA course fees (Payment to the ACCA board)

There are layers to your ACCA course fees. The 1st layer is the initial cost of admission (registration and annual subscription fees); the second is the exam fees and/or exemption fees, if applicable. In total, you pay around ₹2 Lakhs – ₹4.5 Lakhs. Following is the division of the figure –

1. Initial Registration Fees

This is your registration fee. It informs the board that you are their official student and thus allowed to take their exams.The one time fee includes creating your student account on their official myACCA website.

ACCA initial registration fee – £30 (approx. ₹3,500)

2. Annual Subscription Fees

The yearly subscription fee is mandatory for every student, even those based in Delhi. The fee is to keep your ACCA account active for the year. Your first payment is done during your initial registration. The longer it takes you to complete your ACCA course, the more is your ACCA course price. For example, if you complete your ACCA in 3 years, you only pay a annual subscription fee for 3 years. With every additional year, the amount you pay to the ACCA board increases.

Annual subscription fee – £137 (approx. ₹16,000)

For some reason if your account goes inactive; maybe you miss the deadline to pay your annual subscription fees or take time off due to personal reasons, you need to pay a re-registration fee to reactivate your account.

(That’s why it is recommended to take all exams. The exams help build your foundation and make it easier to understand further concepts.)

However, there is a way to save your cost of exemption. ACCA approved learning partners are given exclusive discounts on exemption fees. So for students in Delhi, check for coaching classes that can help you get good discounts.
