Entry Requirements
CIMA Course Entry Requirements
CIMA qualifications are open to everyone. However, the level at which you enter the CIMA course will be dependent on your previous experience.
CIMA Course exemptions
It may be possible to gain exemption from some of the CIMA exams. In order to do this you must be able to provide proof that you have previously sat, and passed the relevant exams.
Students who hold recognised business and/or accounting degrees may be considered for exemption from some (or all) of the Certificate and Operations Levels. Again, in order to do this they must be able to provide evidence that they have previously studied and been assessed in comparable subject areas.
If you’re unsure of your CIMA starting point, it’s highly advisable to check with CIMA. Click here to visit the CIMA website and to obtain written confirmation of your CIMA exemptions.
