British Professional College Achieves ACCA Platinum Approved Employer Status in Nepal
KATHMANDU, NEPAL – August 26, 2025 – British Professional College, an accountancy college, has announced its attainment of the highest recognition from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA): ACCA Approved Employer – Trainee Development – Platinum status. The accreditation, effective June 2, 2025, confirms the college’s commitment to strong professional training and development.
On the same date, the college also received ACCA Approved Employer – Professional Development status. The two approvals together show British Professional College’s support for accountants at every stage of their careers.
The Platinum status is ACCA’s top benchmark for organisations that demonstrate a high level of support for developing finance professionals. This recognition confirms that the college’s training environment meets global standards. A direct benefit is that ACCA trainees at the college can claim exemption from Practical Experience Requirement (PER) submissions, helping them progress faster toward qualification.
The Professional Development status authorises the college to deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes for ACCA-qualified staff. This simplifies compliance with mandatory CPD requirements and strengthens the college’s position as a supportive employer for accounting professionals.
Mr. Dipendra K Shrestha, Head of Professional Education at the British Education Group, said the approvals reflect the college’s steady focus on relevant, high-quality training and ongoing support for staff and students.

Use of ACCA Logos: Permission to use the ACCA Platinum Employer and Professional Development logos across platforms, reinforcing credibility.
-
Attracting and Retaining Talent: Strong positioning for aspiring and qualified ACCA professionals in Nepal.
-
Faster Qualification: Exemption from PER performance objective submissions for ACCA trainees.
