Already work in finance and want a professional qualification?
Or are you considering a complete career change?
Studying CIMA could be the best career decision you make.
Do you already hold a relevant qualification?
If you already hold a relevant degree or professional qualification, you may be eligible for exemptions from the certificate in business accounting and the professional qualification. Use the links in the navigation to find your correct route into CIMA.
If you have no formal education in business or finance, you will start by studying the certificate in business accounting, which will give you a solid grounding in the fundamentals of management accounting.
You can study it as a qualification in its own right or as a stepping stone to the professional qualification.

What's it like to study CIMA?
Ian Mair ACMA, CGMA, Tesco
Role: Central Finance Director
‘I really wanted to have a business qualification, not just a finance qualification. I came into finance a bit later, it’s not something I studied as a degree, so I wanted a qualification that would give me a broad business perspective.
CIMA has really helped give me the confidence to make key business decisions and advise others of the financial implications.
