ACCA students studying at The Etisalat Academy are amongst the best in the world when it comes to their phenomenal exam results.

Dubai, UAE June 24, 2009 - Etisalat Academy today announced that students studying for the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) exam papers have consistently achieved a pass rate much higher than the global average. 

"The teaching staff and students at Etisalat Academy should be rightly proud of their achievements in the most recent ACCA examinations. Our exams are deliberately tough and require a great deal of effort and ability in order to succeed.  We congratulate the academy on these results and look forward to students' achievements in ACCA's current examinations," said Deepak Chainani Country Manager, UAE & Qatar, ACCA Middle East.

Gordon Pinto a financial analyst and a recent graduate of the Etisalat Academy's ACCA programme said:  "Two years ago I was thinking of attaining an accounting qualification and eventually decided that the ACCA would be the most appropriate. To achieve this I needed assistance from a professional teaching establishment and eventually turned to Etisalat Academy. My one year with the academy has proven to be both a rewarding and fulfilling experience and most importantly I enjoyed the full benefits of backup and support from their tutors. To sum it up, the learning process was both friendly and instructive."

The Etisalat Academy's ACCA programme is open to all people who meet the minimum requirements which are A-levels, IB or a 65% score in CBSE, ICS or equivalent. 

A Bachelor of Science (BSc Hons) degree in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University is awarded on completion of the Fundamentals Stage and on passing a research and analysis project.
