Who Do You Pay ACCA Course Fees To?<\/b><\/h2>\n

ACCA course fees in Pakistan are paid to two parties: ACCA Global, for registration, subscriptions, exams and exemptions, and your tuition provider, for teaching.

First is ACCA Global itself, while the other is the institute or tuition provider you choose to associate yourself with. The fees charged by ACCA Global are predetermined and charged in GBP, not rupees; however, the charges of tuition providers can fluctuate depending on multiple factors such as the different fee structures, modules you have opted for, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are different charges that an ACCA aspirant in Pakistan is obliged to take care of, such as registration charges, annual subscription fees, exam fees, exam exemption fees, etc. All these fees are paid to the official body of ACCA through their online website <\/span>(MyACCA<\/span><\/a>). Here is a complete breakdown of the fee you need to pay:<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is the ACCA Registration Fee?<\/b><\/h3>\n

It is a one-time fee charged at the time of registration with ACCA; you have to pay this fee through their online portal, where you have to submit a form filled with your details and academic documents, along with the registration fee to become an official ACCA aspirant. The ACCA registration fee for Pakistani aspirants in 2026 is \u00a389, though ACCA is currently offering it at \u00a345 (about PKR 16,700).<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Is the ACCA Annual Subscription in 2026?<\/b><\/h3>\n

New students pay a reduced \u00a358 in their first year; this fee is also paid online through their portal.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Is the ACCA Exam Fee per Paper?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The ACCA exam fee is charged separately for every exam you attempt; the exam fee per module differs from one another depending on the academic level of that module and can be updated by ACCA. For the December 2026 session, Applied Skills exams cost \u00a3143 each at standard entry, SBL costs \u00a3252, and SBR and each option paper cost \u00a3180. Standard entry closes on 2 November 2026; late entry, which closes on 9 November 2026, costs \u00a3366 to \u00a3406 per paper.

Paying for an exemption is usually cheaper than sitting the exam, and it also saves you tuition and time.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Much Do ACCA Tuition Providers Charge in Pakistan?<\/b><\/h2>\n

ACCA tuition in Pakistan comes in two formats, onsite classes and online recorded lessons, and usually costs PKR 25,000 to 60,000 per paper, paid directly to your institute rather than to ACCA. Online recorded courses often cost less than onsite classes, and Strategic Professional papers usually sit at the top of an institute\u2019s fee range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from aspirants\u2019 financial obligations to ACCA Global, they are also responsible for tuition fees paid to the ACCA tuition provider they have chosen to accelerate their academic journey.

Every ACCA course provider charges differently depending on their fee structure, study mode (online and onsite), expert faculty, as well as other academic advantages they offer.
