Ready to qualify as an ACCA member?

If you have been updating your practical experience requirements (PER) in the Trainee Development Matrix (TDM), you can transfer to membership as soon as you have:

• completed your exams
• completed the Professional Ethics module (where required)
• recorded 36 months' experience in a relevant role using the PER return

and either:

• answered the challenge questions for 13 performance objectives (all nine Essentials and any four Options) and had these signed off by your workplace mentor

or

• are exempt from completing the TDM under your ACCA Approved Employer’s gold or platinum Trainee Development stream.

We will track your progress towards meeting the membership requirements then email or write to invite you to transfer as soon as you are ready.

So make sure that you:

• indicate any recent updates to your PER progress by submitting an online PER return now
• keep a copy of any documentation relating to your employment and relevant work experience, this may be required for PER review purposes
• keep your contact details up-to-date, particularly your email address, to ensure you receive your invitation to transfer to membership.

If you think that you are ready now, you can still submit a membership application, either online through myACCA or by completing and returning the application form in the 'related documents' section – you don’t have to wait to receive your invitation. However, please be aware that an online or manual membership application can take up to six weeks to process. If you update your TDM records to meet the membership requirements you’re likely to receive your email invitation within two weeks, and could be transferred to membership within a further ten days – a much quicker option!

If you are not yet ready for membership then we are happy to support you as you continue working towards completing your PER. Please remember to keep updating the TDM with your progress and ensure that you make a PER return to reflect any updates.

You can access the TDM and other PER guidance by logging into myACCA.
