About London International — the institute behind your ACCA.

London International Studies & Research Centre (LISRC) is the Dubai institute that delivers your ACCA course in Dubai. We're the finance division behind cmacourse.ae — the UAE's #1-ranked site for CMA courses — and we built our ACCA programme on the same principle that made that work: tell students the truth about their exemptions and their fees, then teach them properly with mentors who've sat the exams themselves.

Who we are

The finance division behind the UAE's #1-ranked CMA course site

London International Studies & Research Centre is a Dubai-based professional training institute, and our ACCA programme sits inside the same finance division that built cmacourse.ae into the UAE's #1-ranked site for CMA courses. When you enrol in an ACCA course in Dubai with us, you're not joining a start-up testing a new product — you're working with the team, the mentors and the systems that already took thousands of working professionals through a global finance qualification.

That heritage matters because the things that make a CMA course rank #1 — disciplined teaching, honest fee math, mentors who actually sat the papers, and pass support you can hold someone to — are exactly the things that make an ACCA institute worth choosing. We didn't bolt ACCA onto a marketing brand. We extended a proven finance-training engine to the UK's global accountancy qualification.

🏛️

One team, two qualifications

The same trainers, coordinators and study platform that run cmacourse.ae now run our ACCA classes, training and coaching in Dubai. Two qualifications, one standard of teaching — so ACCA students inherit a track record instead of a promise.

Our mission

To make a global qualification honest and reachable for working people in the UAE

ACCA changes careers in the Gulf — but only if students can finish it. Our mission is to remove the two things that quietly derail people: misleading exemption claims and hidden fees. Everything else we build is in service of that.

Most people who search for an ACCA course in Dubai are already working — accountants, finance associates, audit staff, recent graduates holding down a first job. They don't have the luxury of pausing their career to study, and they can't afford to discover a missing fee or three extra papers halfway through. So our mission is deliberately narrow: give every student the real number of papers they have to sit, the real total cost in full, and a teaching format that fits a Sunday-to-Thursday week.

We hold ourselves to that with a written pass-support policy. If you attend your classes and sit your mocks and a paper still doesn't go your way, our documented policy lets you re-attend that paper's tuition — written into your enrolment, not a verbal reassurance at sign-up. A mission only counts when there's a commitment behind it you can point to.

Mentors who've sat the same papers. Fees you can see in full. A pass promise in writing. That's the whole institute.

The exemption truth. A standard B.Com clears the three Applied Knowledge papers, so you sit 10 exams, not 13 — CA-Inter often fewer. Anyone promising a flat "8 papers" to every B.Com graduate is selling, not advising. We confirm yours against ACCA's official calculator first. Check your exemptions →
How we teach

A teaching approach built around a working week

The ACCA syllabus is the same everywhere — what differs is how it's taught and who teaches it. Here is how London International runs your ACCA training and coaching in Dubai.

🎓

ACCA-qualified faculty who sat these exact papers

You're taught by ACCA-qualified professionals who cleared SBL, SBR and the Options themselves and know how the marker awards points. They don't just deliver theory — they work past exam-style questions on screen the way the examiner wants them answered, and they stay with you between classes, not only during them.

📅

Live weekend & evening batches

Built for a Sunday-to-Thursday week, with every session recorded — so a missed class or a work trip never means falling behind. See weekend classes →

💬

One-to-one coaching, built in

Individual ACCA coaching and doubt-clearing are part of the programme, never an upsell — a single hard concept never derails a whole paper. About our coaching →

📝

Trainer-marked mock exams

Your mocks are marked by a human mentor against the real ACCA marking scheme, with feedback you can act on — not an auto-graded score that tells you nothing.

📚

Paced to a real sitting, with a written pass-support promise

Your mentor maps each paper to a target March, June, September or December sitting and keeps you on track for it. Attend, sit your mocks, and if a paper doesn't go your way, our documented policy lets you re-attend that paper's tuition. More on our training →

Where we teach

Based in Dubai, serving the whole UAE

We run live in-person batches in Dubai and a fully online/hybrid option for students across the Emirates and the wider GCC — so location is never the reason you can't take ACCA.

01

Dubai — our home base

Live weekend and weekday-evening ACCA classes in Dubai, with one-to-one coaching and trainer-marked mocks. You sit your actual exams at the official ACCA test centre in Dubai; we provide the teaching, materials and mentoring that get you there.

02

Abu Dhabi & Sharjah

Students across the Emirates join the same mentors through our online/hybrid track — bookmarkable recorded lectures plus scheduled live doubt-clearing — so you get the same teaching without a daily commute to Dubai.

03

Across the GCC, online

The fully online format lets professionals anywhere in the UAE or the GCC study with London International, switching between recordings and live classes as work and travel demand.

One institute, every format. Weekend, evening or online — the faculty, materials and pass-support promise are identical. Tell us your working pattern on WhatsApp and we'll recommend the batch that fits.
Why students trust us

An institute that tells you the truth

Two tricks are common in ACCA training across Dubai: inflate your exemptions so the course sounds shorter, and quote a tuition fee that quietly leaves out ACCA UK's own charges. We built our institute the opposite way — and that honesty is the reason students choose us over a louder advert.

When we say "transparent fees," we mean two numbers, both shown: what you pay London International to teach you, and what you pay ACCA UK directly. ACCA's own published charges are the same for every institute worldwide — registration is £89 one-off, the annual subscription is £140, Applied Skills exams run about £160 a paper, SBL is around £282, and SBR and the Options are roughly £208 each. We itemise every one before you enrol, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Your tuition with us depends on how many papers you actually sit after exemptions — which is exactly why we won't quote a misleading flat price. We confirm your real paper count free, then show your exact, itemised fee. That's the honest math the whole institute is built on. See ACCA course fees in Dubai →

⚖︎

What "honest" looks like in practice

Real exemption math, not an optimistic estimate. ACCA UK's fees itemised alongside our tuition, never hidden. ACCA-qualified mentors instead of borrowed lecturers. And a pass-support policy written into your enrolment. If an institute can't show you all four, ask why.

About London International — your questions

Who is London International Studies and Research Centre?

London International Studies and Research Centre (LISRC) is a Dubai-based professional training institute. Its finance division built cmacourse.ae into the UAE's #1-ranked site for CMA courses, and the same team, mentors and systems now run our ACCA course in Dubai — so ACCA students inherit a proven track record rather than a new experiment.

Is London International a recognised ACCA institute in Dubai?

Yes. We are an ACCA tuition provider in Dubai delivering live weekend, weekday-evening and online classes for the full ACCA qualification — all 13 exams across Applied Knowledge, Applied Skills and Strategic Professional, plus the Ethics module. You sit your actual ACCA exams at the official Dubai test centre; we provide the teaching, materials, mocks and mentoring that get you there.

What makes London International different from other ACCA institutes?

Honesty about two things most institutes blur — exemptions and fees. We run your transcript through ACCA's official exemption check and tell you the real paper count (usually 10 for a B.Com, not an optimistic 8), and we itemise every fee, including ACCA UK's own charges, before you enrol. Add ACCA-qualified mentors who sat these exams and a written pass-support policy, and that's the institute.

Are your ACCA trainers actually ACCA-qualified?

Yes. Our faculty are ACCA-qualified professionals who passed the exact exams they now teach — including the Strategic Professional papers SBL, SBR and the Options. One-to-one doubt-clearing and mentoring are built into the programme, never sold as an upsell.

Where is London International based and where does it teach ACCA?

We're based in Dubai and serve ACCA students across the UAE — Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah — through live in-person batches and a fully online/hybrid option for the wider GCC. You can reach an advisor on +971 58 958 3070, by WhatsApp, or at support@lisrc.co.uk.
