The ACA is open to any employee working for an ICAEW accredited organization in the Gulf. If you are not sure if your company qualifies please contact the ICAEW Middle East office. In order to qualify as an ACA you need 450 days of technical work experience under a training agreement in an accredited organization.
Taking the exams
CFAB/Certificate level exams are computer based and can be taken at your convenience in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We estimate that it takes approximately one year to complete the Certificate level of the ACA. Note that if you have studied finance, accounting or banking previously or hold another professional designation you may place out of certain modules. Please see the ICAEW website to see if you qualify for an exemption.
Professional and advanced level exams are now computer based and are administered at a testing site in Dubai. Professional exams are offered in March, June, September, and December, and Advanced level exams are offered in July and November.
Studying for the CFAB was a challenge as it required a lot of hard work and dedication. However, at the same time I had a firm belief that the difficulties would be worthwhile at the end as it is one of the most prestigious certificates worldwide. Getting my CFAB gave me such a great feeling of honour and achievement. I gained extra confidence and now I'm studying for my ACA to broaden my knowledge to benefit my organization, ENDB. DSR was one of the pillars that contributed to my success. Having a passionate teacher like Durdana is the biggest advantage to joining DSR because her continuous positive energy pushed us to the highest level of success.
