The ACA equips you with in-depth knowledge across finance, accountancy and business and is recognised by employers around the world. Our members hold influential positions across the globe.
If you're interested in becoming a chartered accountant, we send regular newsletters about potential job opportunities, how you can secure a training agreement and news to help you through the recruitment process, as well as highlighting forthcoming events.
Alongside the study routes offered in conjunction with SOEL - the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Greece - (see below), full ACA training is available in Greece.
This combines four essential elements:
Together, these four elements give you the expertise and added-value skills that help define a chartered accountant. You must successfully complete all four elements to complete the ACA qualification and become an ICAEW Chartered Accountant.
TThe minimum academic entry requirement for ACA students is two A levels and three GCSEs or the international equivalent. Please note that the Apolytirion of Lykeion level is also accepted if you have achieved an overall score of 17/20 or 85%.
If you are a graduate, school leaver or have a professional qualification or experience (such as ACCA or SOEL) you can study for the ACA in Greece and qualify as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant.
All exams are held in Greece. Exams must be pre-booked and details of the exam venue will be sent to you approximately two weeks before the examination date.
If you hold an accounting or business related degree or a professional accountancy qualification you may be eligible to exemption from some of the ACA exams.
SOEL members, for example, can claim credits for prior learning for 11 of the 15 ACA modules.
