Prepare ACCA – possible for individual training leave?

Dear Redditors in Luxembourg,

I’m planning to prepare ACCA by myself and I was informed by my colleague that we have individual training leave as employees. I checked the website [https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/enseignement-formation/formation-adultes/conge/conge-individuel-formation.html](https://guichet.public.lu/en/citoyens/enseignement-formation/formation-adultes/conge/conge-individuel-formation.html) and noticed that there’s exam leave.

I’m wondering if I prepare for the exams by myself, I will be not obliged to apply for the leave, right? coz according to the info on the webpage, it seems like I must register for some training meeting several requirements.

If I want to apply for the leave, can I register for some training of ACCA (recognized by Luxembourg) at a reasonable price? I work for a service provider and get very intensive workloads, also the payment is extremely low. I already need to pay a fortune for the exams fee and really don’t want to pay too much for the training. Any suggestion or does anyone have experience with this? Many thanks!
