The ACCA Qualification is being redesigned for 2027. 🎓
Here’s what you need to know:
The levels are changing:
Applied Knowledge will become Knowledge, while Applied Skills will become Expertise. Strategic Professional will keep its current name.
Exams will be numbered to show the recommended study order:
• Knowledge: K1 to K3
• Expertise: E1 to E5
• Strategic Professional: S1, S2 and one Options exam
Each level will also include a mandatory employability module covering practical skills in areas such as business, technology, AI, sustainability and ethics.
At Strategic Professional, students will choose one Options exam instead of two, with Data Science Professional added as a new option.
A new Foundations level will also be introduced for students who do not meet the minimum entry requirements.
The first new Foundations and Knowledge exams will become available in July 2027, followed by Expertise and Strategic Professional in September 2027.
Already studying ACCA? You won’t need to start again. Your completed exams will be recognised under ACCA’s transition rules.
