qualifications

Peter Baker, BA(Hons), ACCA
Accountant
Hello this is from a business card. To be more precise, from a picture of a business card in a text-book. Peter is the first name of the person, Baker is his surname, accountan - job title. My question is about "BA (Hons)". I guess BA stands for 'bachelor' and 'Hons' is the name of a university or a school and all this is supposed to be "qualifications". The word in the text-book is in the plural form. Is it always used in plural or not?
For example, I recieve the card from Peter Baker, I'm not sure about 'BA'and I ask him "Is this your qualification(s)?". Should I use the word in singular or plural in this context?
Or another situaion: at a job interview:
What is your qualification?
What are your qualifications?
Are both variants correct and do they mean the same?

Hi...Pechorin

BA means Bachelor of Arts it is a degree conferred on a person who has successfully completed his undergraduate studies, usually in a branch of the liberal arts or humanities
............
and the (Hons) does not mean the University but it is denoting the main subject of the degree. Here it is meant 'Honours'.

For Example B.Sc (Chem) means.. it is a Bachelor degree in Science with Chemistry as the major subject.

When interviewing anyone you can simply ask him/her '' Let us know your qualifications...'' because most of them will have more than one quantification.

(Hope I have cleared your doubts...)

Then 'ACCA' must have something to do with accounting, because the holder of the business card in question works as an accountant, which is also indicated in the card.
Do I understand it correctly that according to the business card Peter Backer has at least two qualifications: the first is Bachelor of Arts, and the second is 'ACCA'?
