If you intend to pursue an accounting job after graduation, it is definitely worthwhile to take the ACCA course. If you have a bachelor’s degree in commerce, you will receive a 4 paper exemption. Of of the 13 papers I took, I passed 8 of them. Moreover, there are advantages that one may only get by enrolling at an institution. You will receive exemptions on exemption costs if you are qualified, and I signed up for IMS Proschool. They provide practice exams, and the majority of the faculty is an ACCA member.
