Entry Requirements

CIMA now operate a flexible entry policy, which means that as long as you feel that you have a good knowledge and understanding of mathematics and English, there is no requirement for formal qualifications to register with CIMA for Certificate in Business Accounting.

Although it is not essential, many students choose to begin studying CIMA after completing a degree. You may not need to sit for all CIMA exams if you have a relevant academic qualification. Of the existing students, only half have a business or financial degree; the rest come from a variety of social sciences, language, science or engineering courses.

No management or accountancy experience is required to begin studying CIMA.

You do not have to be in employment to study for a CIMA qualification but it is recommended, as practical work experience will certainly contributed to your understanding of the subjects studies, and forms an essential part of the final qualification. If paid employment is not available, you may wish to consider part-time voluntary work with a club or charity so that you are better able to understand the concepts being taught.
