Please note that ACCA recognises the following modes of study:
Face to Face learning
This is for those learning providers that offer full-time or part-time classroom-based tuition delivered at a learning provider’s premises. Face to face tuition typically takes place over a period of several days, weeks or months. For the duration of the course, students may be taught towards one or more of ACCA’s exams, learning the syllabus and applying the knowledge acquired through question practice and mastering exam techniques.
Online learning
This is for those learning providers that offer courses that are primarily accessible online. Learning can take place at any geographical location and students can learn at their own pace with 24/7 access. Students are offered the full online learning experience. For example, students should expect to have access to live or pre-recorded lectures, while supported remotely by tutors or subject area experts. Online courses are structured and offer recommendations for the most effective ways to achieve optimum results, including coursework and mock exam requirements. Students should have the flexibility to organise their study and attempt any coursework in their own time. If teaching is solely undertaken face to face with supplementary support online, this would be considered face to face tuition.
Blended learning
This is for providers that offer a learning experience that combines face to face tuition and online learning through access to live or pre-recorded lectures in a single course. Participation in both elements of the tuition is necessary to complete the course and students can access their tuition both face to face and online. Please note that if you teach ACCA students in a face-to-face environment but you supplement this by adding materials to an online location, ACCA considers this to be face to face delivery.
