The Foundation Diploma is the best preparation for the ACCA Qualification if you don’t have any other qualifications or experience. Complete the Diploma and you will be automatically transferred onto the ACCA Qualification, free of charge, and given exemptions from the first three exams.

In Pakistan, the Intermediate Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) has awarded HSSC (Intermediate in Commerce) equivalence to the Foundation Diploma. If you wish to obtain such equivalence, then you must apply for the Foundation Diploma after completing O’ Levels, or Matriculation.

After you complete the Foundation Diploma (the first seven exams of Foundations in Accountancy) you can transfer onto the ACCA Qualification. You can claim exemption from the first three exams (F1, F2 and F3), because you will have already passed them at the diploma level. You can then continue your journey with us on the ACCA Qualification.
