Why register for ACCA through us?
As an ACCA Approved Silver Learning Partner, Brainery has direct standing with ACCA — which is what lets us pass savings and support to you that you won't get registering on your own.
Pay less than the direct ACCA fee
Our Silver Partner status gives students preferential pricing on registration and enrolment — so the amount you pay through Brainery works out lower than paying ACCA directly as an independent applicant.
No overpaying on exemptions
We verify your certificates and transcripts before you apply, so you claim every exemption you're entitled to — and never pay exam fees for a paper you could have skipped.
EMI on coaching fees
Coaching fees can be split into EMIs, subject to eligibility, so you can start classes without paying the full amount upfront.
Support that outlasts one exam
Live classes, 6 months of recorded backup, weekly computer-based mock tests, and printed books per paper — all included, so re-attempt costs stay rare.

Please note: all exemptions shown on this page are indicative and subject to final approval by ACCA after they review your actual certificates and transcripts. ACCA may revise its exemption policies, eligibility criteria, and fees at any time, and figures here may not reflect the very latest changes. This calculator reflects the current 13-paper ACCA syllabus, applicable to the December 2026 and March 2027 exam sessions — June 2027 is scheduled to be the final sitting under this structure, after which ACCA's redesigned qualification takes effect from September 2027. Fee totals also use the exchange rate fetched at the time you view this page — exchange rates move daily, and the exact INR amount payable is only fixed at the time of actual payment. Brainery will always confirm your exact exemption award, fees, and applicable syllabus with ACCA before you commit to a course of study.
Life after becoming an ACCA
Eight professional tracks, real earning capacity in India and abroad, the employers that hire for each, and how the climb plays out over five years and beyond.
Audit & Assurance
Statutory and group audits under IFRS — the fastest way to see twenty businesses from the inside.
Financial Reporting
Closing and consolidating a global group under IFRS — what India's capability centres hire ACCAs for by name.
FP&A & Management
Budgets, forecasts and the numbers behind every decision — the shortest road to the CFO's office.
Tax & Transfer Pricing
International tax, transfer pricing and the new global minimum-tax regimes — a niche that pays for staying in it.
Risk & Internal Audit
Controls, compliance and enterprise risk inside banks and MNCs — demand grows with every new regulation.
Investment Banking
Valuation, modelling and deal execution. The steepest pay curve of the eight — and the highest ceiling.
Deals & Transactions
Financial due diligence, valuations and post-merger integration. Audit experience converts into it beautifully.
Forensic Accounting
Fraud investigation, anti-money-laundering and disputes. Small talent pool, courtroom-grade work, real premium.

Coaching commerce students since 2019 — with the results to show for it
Our motto is simple: accountability in education, and an uncompromising commitment to student success. Value for money is the foundation we built this institute on, and it still guides every batch we run.
A track record that speaks for itself
We've been coaching commerce students since 2019 and have produced 90+ All India Ranks — one of the strongest results-driven track records among ACCA coaching centres.
Accountability, not just a slogan
Our motto is accountability in education and an uncompromising commitment to student success — we track every batch's progress and step in the moment someone starts falling behind.
Value for money, by design
This institute was built on the idea that quality ACCA coaching shouldn't be out of reach. Transparent fees, Silver Partner pricing, and EMI options keep it that way.
Faculty who specialise, not generalise
Every subject is handled by a qualified expert in that specific paper — teaching it with the devotion and conceptual clarity that comes from genuinely knowing the subject inside out.
No rote learning — ever
We build concepts from first principles so they hold up under exam pressure and in real professional work, instead of memorised answers that fall apart the moment a question is rephrased.
Learn live, revise on your schedule
Live online classes with 6 months of recorded backup access, so a missed class or a tricky topic is never more than a replay away.
Exam-ready, not just syllabus-covered
Weekly computer-based mock tests in a CBE-style environment mean the real ACCA exam interface feels familiar long before exam day.
Support that doesn't end at coaching
From verifying your exemptions with ACCA to guiding you toward the career tracks and recruiters mapped above, we stay with you well beyond the classroom.
