Entry Requirements
Is This Course Right For You?
There are no formal entry requirements, but a foundational level of accounting knowledge is assumed.
The course assumes knowledge typically held by a professional accountant (e.g. ACCA-qualified), an accounting graduate, or someone with two to three years of full-time accounting experience. The syllabus covers complex topics including governance, financial reporting, and regulatory frameworks — those with limited accounting background may find the content challenging.
Use this self-assessment to gauge your readiness:
If most of these terms are familiar from your studies or work, you’re well-positioned to start. Our teaching will fill any gaps.
If many concepts are new, consider building foundation knowledge first. Speak to our team — we’ll suggest the right starting point.
Examinations
Computer-Based Exam · Held Twice a Year
From 2026 onwards, the ProDipSust examination is held twice yearly — in June and December. Take it at a designated centre, or via remote invigilation from your own location.

Syllabus Area A underpins the entire exam, providing foundational frameworks and regulations. Ethics from Area A is specifically examined, contributing 10 marks split across any two of the three tasks.
