The pathway we recommend

Still wondering?

Anything else, ask us. We reply within one working day.

When does the next online Strategic Business Leader class start?

Intakes follow the ACCA exam sessions. Ask us and we tell you the next start date, the class evenings and when the exam session falls.

Is the whole course online?

Yes. Every class is live online with LSBF tutors and recorded on Canvas, so you study from home in Malta or Ireland. The only part in person is the exam itself, at an ACCA centre.

What is the Strategic Business Leader exam like?

Set and marked by ACCA Global: four hours, one integrated case study, at an ACCA centre in Malta or Ireland. A marked mock with LSBF comes first, so the format is familiar before the real one.

Do I have to take both Essentials?

Yes. Strategic Business Leader and Strategic Business Reporting are both required at Strategic Professional, then you choose two of the four Options.

What if I fail the exam?

You can re-sit at the next ACCA session, paying ACCA’s exam fee again. Under LSBF’s Pass 1st Time Guarantee you may be eligible to attend their resit course free of charge, subject to their terms and attendance conditions.

Is Strategic Business Leader a Level 7 qualification?

No single paper is. The full ACCA qualification, once you complete all exams, the ethics module and 36 months of experience, is at MQF Level 7. Strategic Business Leader is one paper on the way.

Can I get this paper refunded under Get Qualified?

No. ACCA tuition is not eligible for Malta’s Get Qualified Scheme. The accounting diplomas and the BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance are.
