Live Saturday batches · every session recorded · a free exemption check.
Most Dubai institutes quietly drop weekend ACCA classes because they're harder to staff. We built ours around them. If your week is Sunday to Thursday, the weekend batch is the difference between finishing your ACCA and stalling on paper two.
London International runs a live ACCA weekend batch in Dubai built specifically for the UAE working week. Sessions are concentrated on Saturday and Friday, so your Sunday-to-Thursday job stays untouched. Every class is recorded and on your learning platform the same day, taught by ACCA-qualified mentors, with trainer-marked mocks before each sitting. That combination — live weekend teaching plus full recordings — is exactly what most ACCA training in Dubai skips.
Why does it matter? ACCA is a marathon of up to 13 exams across four yearly sittings (March, June, September, December). Self-study around a full-time finance role looks fine for one paper, then a quarter-end hits, momentum dies, and the next sitting slides. A fixed weekend rhythm — same time, same mentor, same cohort — is what keeps part-time candidates moving from Applied Knowledge through to Strategic Professional without the long stalls.
You give the qualification your weekends, not your evenings after a ten-hour day. Live class on Saturday, recording review midweek if you choose, mock and revision in the run-up to your sitting. No clash with month-end, no 6 a.m. webinars from another timezone.
Searching for ACCA classes in Dubai that fit a real job? The weekend batch is the one to ask about — and it shares mentors and materials with our weekday-evening and online ACCA training in Dubai.
A weekend slot is only useful if everything around it is built to catch you up and push you forward. Here's what comes with the batch.
You're taught by professionals who have actually sat LW, FR, AA, SBL and SBR — not graduate tutors reading slides. One-to-one doubt-clearing is part of the batch, never an upsell, so a tricky standard or a consolidation question gets answered before it costs you marks.
Miss a Saturday for a wedding, a work trip or a sick kid and nothing breaks — the recording is on your platform the same day, with bookmarking to jump back to a topic.
Full mock exams marked by your mentor with written feedback before each sitting — so you walk into the Dubai test centre knowing where you stand.
Approved study texts, exam-kit question banks and a learning platform that tracks your progress paper by paper.
Attend, sit your mocks, and if a paper doesn't go your way our documented policy lets you re-attend that paper's tuition. Written at enrolment, not a verbal promise.
If a busy quarter makes weekends impossible for a while, move to weekday evenings or the fully online option and back again — same mentors, same recordings, same cohort. Your schedule shouldn't cost you a sitting.
ACCA has three levels. The weekend batch is paced so you target one or two papers per sitting and clear them first time, rather than over-loading and re-sitting.
The foundations, on-demand computer exams. Most B.Com graduates are exempt from this entire level, so many weekend students start straight at Applied Skills.
The technical core, taught across several weekend batches and sat in the March, June, September and December sittings — usually one or two papers at a time.
The final stretch: two compulsory Essentials plus two Options you choose. No exemptions here — every member sits these, and weekend cohorts work through them together with extra mentor time.
From Saturday's live class to a mock under your belt — the weekend rhythm that gets working professionals to the finish.
A focused weekend session on the current paper — concepts, worked questions, exam technique.
The full session lands on your platform the same day for revision or catch-up.
Question bank work midweek; one-to-one mentor time for whatever didn't click.
A full mock before the sitting, returned with written feedback on where to gain marks.
Book your paper at the Dubai test centre — prepared, with pass support in writing behind you.
Two numbers matter: what you pay us to teach you, and what you pay ACCA UK directly. We show you both — most institutes only show the first.
No obligation. Most B.Com students sit ~10 papers; your exact tuition is confirmed after a free exemption check.
| Item | Amount |

| Annual subscription | £140 / year |
| Applied Skills exam | ~£160 / paper |

ACCA's own published fees — identical at every institute worldwide. Book early: a late exam entry can jump from about £160 to over £400.
Your tuition depends on how many papers you actually take after exemptions, so there's no honest one-price-fits-all. See the full breakdown on our ACCA course fees in Dubai page, or get your personalised fee sheet →
Yes — live weekend batches, typically Saturday and Friday, designed for people who work Sunday to Thursday. Every class is recorded, so a busy weekend or a work trip never means falling behind. It's deliberately the option many Dubai institutes avoid because weekend teaching is harder to staff; for someone working full-time, it's the difference between finishing and stalling.
Sessions are concentrated on Saturday and Friday so your working week stays clear. Exact start times are set per batch — mornings and afternoons are both offered depending on demand for a given March/June/September/December sitting — and we confirm your slot when you enrol. Tell us your preference and we'll place you accordingly.
Every live session is recorded and on your learning platform the same day, with bookmarking so you can jump straight to a topic. You watch the recording, then bring any doubts to the next live class or a one-to-one mentor slot. No class is ever lost.
A standard three-year B.Com usually earns exemptions from all three Applied Knowledge papers (BT, MA, FA), leaving 10 of the 13 exams to sit. CA-Inter and some credentials reduce it further, often to around 8. We run your transcript through ACCA's official exemption check and give you the exact number before you book a weekend seat — see our ACCA after B.Com guide.
Yes. The weekend batch, weekday evenings and the online option share the same mentors, materials and recordings, so you can switch modes between sittings as your work schedule shifts — at no penalty. Many students do a mix across their two-to-three-year journey.
Yes — you're taught and mentored by ACCA-qualified professionals who have sat these exams. This is the same finance team behind cmacourse.ae, the UAE's #1-ranked CMA institute, so the weekend batch runs on proven teaching, not an experiment.
No deposit, no hard sell. Sit in on a real weekend session, get your exact paper count and your full itemised fee — then decide.
