The ACCA does set time limits. We've summarised below, but do check out the ACCA student website for the latest information, as it may change with the new ACCA 2027 syllabus.
There are no time limits for for passing any Foundation, Applied Knowledge or Applied Skills exams.
You have seven years to pass the ACCA Strategic Professional exams once you pass your first Strategic Professional exam. If you don’t pass all the Strategic Professional exams and reach affiliate status within seven years, you’ll lose any Strategic Professional passes achieved after seven years. These will need to be re-taken in order to complete the qualification.
The seven year rule applies to everyone.
Check your myACCA account to find out when your Strategic Professional results will expire.
