How add your Experience and Practical experience requirement (PER) in my ACCA | Alan Biju Palak ACCA

You need the right skills and abilities to be a qualified accountant. Practical experience requirement (PER) is an essential part of the ACCA qualification. Completing the performance objectives will help reinforce your learning from exams.

There are two types of performance objective: Essentials and Technical. You must complete all five essentials. There are 17 technical performance objectives, we need you to demonstrate your experience in four of these.

To complete PER you'll need to achieve 36 months of supervised experience. This should be in a relevant accounting or finance role. You'll also complete nine performance objectives - all five Essentials and four Technical objectives.

ACCA trainees can work in any sector and size of organisation - you don't have to work for an ACCA Approved Employer. Experience can be gained prior to registering with ACCA, while you are studying for the exams or after you have completed the exams.

Your experience doesn’t have to be gained in a single role or in one continuous period and you can gain your experience in different roles and with different employers. You could also gain experience by doing voluntary work for clubs, charities or associations.

It's important is to look for the opportunities to help you meet your PER and to obtain a total of 36 months' experience in a relevant role or roles. It's also important that your work is appropriately supervised and that the time you complete towards your 36 months' experience is signed off by your practical experience supervisor.
