Stop the search. We have a place for you now.
Feel like you are losing control of your future as you’re waiting for your clearing number to come up? If you’re looking for a top career but think it’s out of reach without a degree, think again.
You can choose to bypass university and head straight for the world of business and finance with the CIMA qualification.
Getting started
You don’t need a degree to study CIMA. You can go straight into our entry level qualification – the CIMA certificate in business accounting then progress onto the CIMA professional qualification. This way you get to call the shots – studying at your own pace in a way that suits you.
You can study CIMA full time, part time while working, in a classroom or through distance learning. And you get to accelerate your career a few years without building up a mountain of student debt.
What is management accounting?
Whenever there’s an important business decision to be made, there’s a cool headed management accountant in the thick of things.
At fashion labels, in travel companies, inside football clubs; that’s where you’ll find the CIMA chartered management accountant. CIMA people play key roles in some of the world’s most exciting organisations.
