WallStreet School vs iProledge: ACCA and US CMA Fees and Terms

The WallStreet School (TWSS) prices some programmes in two parts. You pay tuition up front, then a success-based placement fee that falls due only if you accept a job through the school. That second part decides whether TWSS is cheap or expensive for you. Check it before you compare TWSS with any other institute.

TWSS is best known for financial modelling, investment banking, CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and FRM (Financial Risk Manager) coaching in Delhi. Those are its strengths, not ours. The overlap is ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and US CMA (Certified Management Accountant, the American management accounting credential). On those two, a fair comparison turns on four things:

• price per level
• class format
• location
• what happens to your fee once it is paid

TWSS figures are as of November 2026.

• For ACCA or US CMA coaching in Bengaluru or South India, we recommend iProledge: onsite, live online and blended batches, and a commitment to answer calls within 5 minutes.
• TWSS's tuition is not its total: its financial modelling and integrated ACCA programmes carry a separate success-based placement fee (as of November 2026).
• iProledge's ACCA Knowledge level (₹50,000) and US CMA weekend batch (₹60,000) cost less than TWSS's live Knowledge level (₹65,000 including Goods and Services Tax, GST) and US CMA bundle (₹70,000 including taxes), as of November 2026.
• TWSS suits financial modelling, investment banking, CFA, FRM and classrooms in Delhi or Mumbai.

TWSS teaches financial modelling and valuations in 8 weeks full-time or 3.5 months at weekends, alongside CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), CFP (Certified Financial Planner), US CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and value investing. Its fees for ACCA are on its ACCA page and for US CMA on its US CMA page.

We also coach CA (Chartered Accountancy), CS (Company Secretary), CMA India (Cost and Management Accountant) and the Enrolled Agent exam (the US tax credential); see our courses list. Confirm the GST position of our fees when you ask for a written quote, and ask both institutes for the final amount payable in writing before you compare.

TWSS's headline tuition is not what you pay if you take a job through it. Financial modelling and valuations costs ₹50,000 plus GST, and "a success-based placement fee of ₹75,000 is charged only if you are placed through TWSS" (TWSS FAQ). Before GST, that is ₹1,25,000 in total (our arithmetic: ₹50,000 + ₹75,000).

Integrated ACCA students face a ₹50,000 success-based fee on top of level fees, charged on accepting a placement offer (TWSS ACCA page).

TWSS reports 25,324+ placements, 450+ corporate partners and 50,826+ students trained since 2009 (TWSS placements page), as of November 2026. Whichever institute you choose, ask for the written total for your route, covering tuition and every other charge, before you pay. Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) exam and membership fees are paid separately at both institutes; see CMA USA exam fees in rupees. TWSS says its ACCA programme includes free ACCA registration; ask us what our fee covers.

Compare ACCA fees per paper, not per bundle. ACCA has 13 exams across three levels: Knowledge (3 papers), Skills (6) and Professional (4, being Strategic Business Leader, Strategic Business Reporting and two options). Per-paper price is the level price divided by the paper count.

At Professional level we price per paper at ₹30,000, so you pay only for the papers you sit. That suits you if exemptions or a slower pace mean you take one or two at a time. Our ACCA Applied Knowledge syllabus guide shows how the Knowledge papers split.

Our weekend batch is ₹60,000 for the two-part exam, against TWSS's ₹70,000 for both parts, which TWSS states includes taxes. Our weekday batch is ₹80,000. Choose the weekend batch if you work.

TWSS prices one part at ₹45,000 plus GST. Buying two parts separately costs ₹90,000 plus GST (2 × ₹45,000), against ₹70,000 for the bundle. TWSS states that exam and IMA membership fees are separate. The same applies to us.

Run these six tests, each with a clear pass or fail.

1. Tier. Ask the institute for its ACCA approved learning partner tier, then confirm it with the "Find a learning partner" tool on ACCA's approved learning partners page. Pass: the institute is listed at the tier it stated.
2. Placement support. Ask what the support covers and whether any fee applies. Pass: a written description of the support and of any fee.
3. Success fee. Ask: "What is my total if I accept a job through you?" Pass: a rupee figure in writing.
4. Tax. Ask whether the price includes GST. Pass: a final payable amount.
5. Refund. TWSS's refund policy says all purchases are non-refundable with no exceptions, and TWSS may change it without notice. Fees paid to us are also final, so test before paying.
6. Demo. Attend a class and meet an advisor. We offer free demo classes and expect you to visit the academy and meet our Career Advisors before joining.
