The rules specifically state that a qualification equivalent to a degree that is not a degree will not meet the requirements. The point of these changes is to allow those who would have qualified for psw to switch into tier 2 instead - acca was not sufficient for psw. You can apply for tier 2 but o...

I have a UK Bachelors degree as well which was awarded in 2008, does that make things any easier?

but I spoke to ACCA and they said that completing the ACCA Professional Level Papers (the final papers) is equivalent to a Masters, and I have completed the papers. Doesn't that make a difference? There are loads of students in the UK who have completed their ACCA exams recently and would have jobs ...

Hi, I Started studying for my final part of ACCA in Jan 2011 and gave my final exams in Dec 2011. I got a certificate from ACCA on Feb 2012 stating that I have passed all the five papers I gave in 2011. Now according to new rules coming on 6th April 2012: You can only switch into Tier 2 if you meet ...

quick question, my lectures finish in mid november 2011 and if I get a letter from college saying that my course has finished in mid november would that be fine to fulfil the criteria by UKBA. I started the course in Jan 2011.

hmmm.. well I got the degree in 2008 and then moved to Tier 1 Post Study. so this won't count

Suppose my company applies to Tier 2 now and it gets refused, will my current Tier 4 be still valid?

I also have a Bachelors degree from the UK, does this count for being a completed course?

well the thing is that its entirely upto me if I want to start the additional 2 papers in sept, as the classes begin in sept, also giving the exams doesn't necessarily mean I will pass all the papers, I could fail them as well meaning I will have to retake. ACCA comprises of 14 papers which a person...

other points yea, its a graduate training scheme I have been offered, and as far as course completion is concerned, I have registered to complete my ACCA, now the way it works is the college teaches you for 3-4 months, u give exams with the ACCA board after a month or so, I began in Jan 2011 and gav...

I am sort of in a similar situation, no one has a clear answer to that, but from the looks of me and you don't qualify

well I havent applied for the Tier 2 yet, I am in the same position as you, don't know what to do, my employer hasn't issued me the COS yet.. don't understand what should I do???

I was granted student leave from 2005 - 2008 and I successfully completed a Bachelors degree during that time and then I got the PSW and since April 2010 I was registered with ACCA and completed 9 papers in 2010 and to continue giving the remaining 5 papers I renewed my visa to Tier 4, so technicall...

well I spoke to a solicitor and they said that its policy guidance and its not in law so I can actually apply, what do you think.

Thanks

well I am doing acca and have completed 9 papers in dec 2010 and giving 3 papers in June 2011,
