What does the Diploma in IFRS ACCA actually cost?
Most candidates searching for DipIFR fees expect a single number. The reality is there are three mandatory cost components and one optional one — and the registration fee alone is often misquoted online because it can be significantly reduced through an ACCA Registered Learning Partner.
Diploma in IFRS ACCA fees = (1) ACCA registration fee (new registrants only) + (2) DipIFR exam entry fee (paid per sitting) + (3) BPP study materials (Study Text + Exam Practice Kit) + (4) tuition or coaching (optional, but strongly linked to pass outcomes). All four are separate payments made to different parties.
The official qualification name is the Diploma in International Financial Reporting Standards (DipIFR). ACCA awards it as a standalone qualification for finance professionals who need to demonstrate working knowledge of IFRS. ACCA membership is not required to take DipIFR.
Candidates who are already registered with ACCA in a prior year do not pay the registration fee again — they pay only the exam entry fee and preparation costs.
Total DipIFR cost going direct — India, UAE and UK
The three fixed costs when going direct to ACCA are registration, exam entry, and BPP books. There is no coaching included. The table below shows what a first-time candidate pays at each market at standard ACCA rates, with no RLP discount applied.
| Cost component | India (direct) | UAE (direct) | UK (direct) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. ACCA registration fee | £89 = ₹11,570 | £89 = AED 437 | £89 |
| 2. BPP books (Study Text + Exam Practice Kit) | £50–70 = ₹6,500–9,100 | £50–70 | £50–70 |
| 3. DipIFR exam fee (Dec 2026) | £151 = ₹19,630 | £155 = AED 763 | £168 |
| Total — direct route (no coaching) |
~₹37,700–40,300 £289–309 at ₹130/£ |
~AED 1,445–1,544 | ~£307–327 |
| Coaching / tuition | Not included — self-study only | ||
| Pass Assurance | None — resit at full cost if unsuccessful | ||
⚠️ BPP direct pricing (£50–70) is approximate — confirm on BPP's site before purchase. ACCA exam fees are typically updated in August each year; confirm the final amount in myACCA before paying.
"The exam fee is not the biggest number in the DipIFR budget. For India candidates, the registration fee alone is ₹11,570 going direct — a cost that drops to ₹4,160 through an ACCA Registered Learning Partner."
DipIFR exam fee Dec 2026 — India, UAE and UK
ACCA uses a tiered pricing structure based on the candidate's country of exam entry. India, UAE and the UK fall in different tiers. The Dec 2026 fees below are based on current ACCA published rates — confirm in myACCA as ACCA typically updates around August 2026.
| Market | Dec 2026 exam fee (GBP) | Local currency | Notes |

ACCA DipIFR registration fee
The standard ACCA initial registration fee is £89. This is a one-time cost for candidates not yet registered with ACCA. It is paid directly to ACCA, separate from the exam fee.
Candidates who register through an ACCA Registered Learning Partner (RLP) such as Eduyush pay approximately £32 instead of £89 — a saving of £57 (approximately ₹7,410). This reduced rate is part of ACCA's official RLP programme, not a promotional discount offered by Eduyush independently. Eduyush's RLP status is verified on the ACCA website.
| Registration route | Fee (GBP) | India (₹130/£) | UAE (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct to ACCA | £89 | ₹11,570 | ~AED 437 |
| Via Eduyush (ACCA RLP) | £32 | ₹4,160 | ~AED 157 |
| Saving | £57 | ₹7,410 | ~AED 280 |
Eduyush is an ACCA Registered Learning Partner — the reduced registration fee is an official ACCA RLP scheme benefit.

|---|---|---|---|
| Direct from BPP | £50–70 | ₹6,500–9,100 | Candidates who only need books |

What does failing DipIFR once actually cost?
Many candidates focus only on the upfront fees when planning their DipIFR budget. The more important number is the total cost if the first attempt is unsuccessful — because the exam is only held twice a year, a failed attempt means at minimum a six-month delay plus the full cost of re-sitting.
| Cost of failing DipIFR once (India) | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Re-sit exam fee | ₹19,630 | Full fee charged again for the next sitting |
| New or updated BPP books | ₹3,900–9,100 | Syllabus is stable across sittings — existing books may carry over |
| Six-month delay to qualification | Significant | Next sitting is June or December — a full exam cycle lost |
| Total additional cost | ₹23,000–29,000+ | Exam fee alone is ₹19,630 — before any preparation cost |
Based on Eduyush student tracking and industry observations, uncoached self-study candidates pass DipIFR at less than 20% on their first attempt. That means the majority of candidates who go direct without structured support are paying the full cost of the qualification twice — or more.
The Eduyush route costs approximately ₹41,000 all-in versus ₹37,700–40,300 going direct — a difference of roughly ₹1,000–3,000. A single failed attempt adds ₹23,000–29,000 to the direct route total. Structured coaching — with Pass Assurance covering a free resit — is the lower-risk financial decision, not just the higher-pass-rate one.
Full cost comparison: direct route vs Eduyush
The table below shows every cost component for a first-time India candidate targeting Dec 2026, comparing both routes side by side.

UAE and UK candidates
| Component | UAE candidate | UK candidate |

| Exam fee Dec 2026 | £155 = ~AED 763 | £168 |
| BPP books (direct) | £50–70 | £50–70 |
| BPP books (via Eduyush) | ~£30 | ~£30 |
| Direct total (no coaching) | ~AED 1,445–1,544 | ~£307–327 |
The registration fee saving of £57 applies equally across all three markets — it is the same ACCA RLP programme benefit regardless of where the candidate sits the exam.

FAQs — Diploma in IFRS ACCA fees
The direct route and Eduyush cost roughly the same upfront — about ₹38,000–41,000. But one includes live coaching, BPP hardcopy books, ACCA RLP registration at £32 instead of £89, Pass Assurance, and a 65–75% pass rate. The other leaves you with less than a 1 in 5 chance of passing on the first attempt.
