ACCA Qualications’ Learning Hours
As a global accountancy body, the learning profiles of ACCA students vary greatly. ACCA promotes flexibilty in its range ofqualifications and learning methods, and therefore ACCA does not prescribe learning hours to its students. However, we haveprovided notional learning hours for each of the ACCA examinations in the tables below for guidance.
Notional learing hours are typically understood to represent the average time it would take a learner to complete a unit oflearning, in this case each of the ACCA Qualification examinations. They include guided learning hours, directed study, practicaland work-based learning, examination preparation time and examination time. Guided learning hours are the hours in whichstudy is directed by a tutor, usually with the tutor present. This can include tutorials, face-to-face delivery or directed open/distance learning and assessment. There may be variations in definitions of learning hours and credit systems betweennational education systems.
