HNC to ACCA

I am currently studying my HNC in Accounting and Finance and wonder if going straight into ACCA is a big jump?

You should be ok with the initial stages of the ACCA, but naturally the further you progress the harder the exams, with the latter exams building on what you've learned along the way

I have exemptions for the first two levels. But I wonder if it's best to start at the beginning?

Sorry, do you mean the first two exams or levels? If it's the first two levels, then this would mean you're going straight to the professional level exams of the ACCA.

Or are you thinking of the AAT, as I think the the HNC would allow you be be exempt from the first two levels of this qualification?

It's the first two levels. AAT is the same SQA level as my HNC

Ok, if the HNC is at the same level of the AAT, then this would mean that you would be exempt from the first level of the ACCA exam. The second level would cover topics such as law, performance and financial management, tax, audit and financial reporting, at more or less a university standard
