Why CIMA is different from other qualifications
The University of Bath School of Management recently completed comparative research that explains the advantages of the CIMA qualification.
Benchmarking CIMA against eight other accounting bodies, the report explains how the unique skills of CIMA professionals give our members a fundamental understanding of all aspects of business so that they can make key decisions and manage risk.
You can compare CIMA against its competitors at CIMA and me.
Choice and flexibility as you study
Choice and flexibility are key to the CIMA qualification. You can co-ordinate your training, career and lifestyle. You can study full-time, or part-time or through distance learning. You can even choose when and where you want to sit your exams.
Our flexible approach will allow you to work in any organisation. Unlike other professional accounting qualifications, you will not be tied to a training contract. You can move organisations if you wish.
