The practising certificate experience form (PCEF) is for practising certificate applicants to record two years of post-membership training. The completed form must be verified by an appropriately qualified individual.
Members who wish to apply for a practising certificate or combined practising certificate with audit qualification must complete three years' relevant experience with an ACCA Approved Employer - practising certificate development stream (AE- PCD).
Applicants are required to complete their PCEF every six months, but we recommend the forms are filled in on an ongoing basis; if they’re completed retrospectively, applicants may forget what they have done, which may also result in problems getting the experience verified.
PCEFs are thoroughly checked by our Authorisation team. If they're not completed properly, they won't be accepted, which will delay applications.
