ACCA Certifications ????

Dear Reader,

I am seeking guidance on initiating my ACCA qualification journey. I have been employed as a Tax Analyst at MNC for two years. I am aware that the ACCA program comprises 13 examination papers, and I intend to pursue a self-study approach rather than enrolling in online training programs. Given my daily work commitment of 8-10 hours, I would appreciate your recommendation on whether to register directly through the official ACCA website or consider alternative platforms such as Imarticus Online or Zell. Furthermore, could you please advise on the total cost of studying for ACCA (if opting for self-study) and where to get study materials, both free and paid, once registered via the main ACCA website?
