The British Council administers exams on behalf of ACCA. Please note that candidates must be members of ACCA before registering to sit any ACCA exams. For more information about becoming a member and the qualifications offered by ACCA, please visit the ACCA website.

WHY TAKE A COMPUTER-BASED EXAM (CBE)?

There are two ways to sit an ACCA exam in Zambia: a computer-based examination (CBE) or a paper-based exam. The application and registration processes differ for these two exams. If you are taking the paper-based exam, please click here. The information below is only for the computer-based exam.

The benefits of a computer-based examination are as follows: 
Flexibility - CBEs are held once a month (compared to twice a year for the paper-based exam) and there are no restrictions on the number of times you can re-sit the exam.
Instant feedback - your result is displayed on the computer screen at the end of the exam.
Results - your results are uploaded by British Council and will be transferred to your ACCA account within 72 hours.
