Approval
The outcome of an application for Gold or Platinum approval will be confirmed to you in writing by the learning partnerships department shortly after the pre-approval visit.
Approval fees and timing of applications
Once your application is approved, you will be invoiced for the approval fee, which for Gold status is equivalent to the annual fee. Newly-approved Platinum Approved Learning Partner – Student Tuition will be invoiced for the difference in fee.
There is no deadline for applications for Gold or Platinum status. However it is worth noting that the annual renewal process takes place in the last quarter of the year, and all existing Approved Learning Partners – Student Tuition are invoiced for the following year's annual fee at this time. Applicants gaining approval late in the year may therefore incur two sets of fees in a short space of time.
Approval pack and additional benefits
On approval, you will receive confirmation from the learning partnerships department and, if applicable, this will also detail any conditions or recommendations upon which your approval is based.
A certificate declaring your Gold or Platinum approval will be enclosed with the confirmation letter. In addition, ACCA promotional materials will be issued to you directly from ACCA's mailing house.
You will be able to download the appropriate Approved Learning Partner – Student Tuition logo by logging-in to myACCA using your username and password.
Unsuccessful applications
ACCA reserves the right to decline approval to institutions that have submitted unsuitable applications. It is the responsibility of the institution to demonstrate that it has met all relevant performance targets, and to demonstrate this in their application or at the pre-approval visit.
If your application is unsuccessful, you will receive confirmation from the learning partnerships department, which will detail recommendations for improvement. Tuition providers whose application for Gold approval has been unsuccessful will retain their entry on ACCA's Tuition Provider Directory in accordance with the renewal cycle. There is no appeals process, however tuition providers are welcome to reapply when improvements have been implemented.
