CIMA Qualification
For those who wish to further a career in financial and business management, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification is ideal.
Recognised and respected throughout the world, the CIMA qualification offers you the opportunity to develop not only accountancy skills, but also key decision making, management, strategic and analytical skills.
These skills will be your passport to professional success in a variety of business fields including commerce, financial services, consultancy, government, the public sector and manufacturing.
Entry requirements
There are a number of entry routes which take into account previous school leaver and graduate qualifications and allow you to study for the CIMA qualification, provided you are 18 or over. You will need to have reached a good standard in mathematics and English before commencing your studies.
CIMA exam dates
Exams usually take place in May and November
Registration with CIMA
Students who wish to sit CIMA examinations must register as a student with CIMA. You will then be sent an exam entry form to register for exams. Enrolment on an LCA course does not register you with CIMA.
