during 2011 - 2013 i studied ACCA

If we exclude the time you spent on PSW and its long processing then almost 5 years you spent on tier 4 and therefore, possibly one year can be spent further on Level 7 course if meet the academic progression criteria. Remember, a complete ACCA is equal to level 7 but its 1st fundamental stage is level 6 and professional stage is level 7 that means if you want to carry on ACCA then its level 6 stage must have been passed so far been because you already hit the level 6 degree cap by spending already 5 years.

You need to study thoroughly academic progression and student degree cap criteria.
