What is Management Accounting? Historically, the finance profession was all about numbers. Now, it’s so much more. Management accountants deliver solutions to drive impact and create value – in a world where businesses are being redefined by new technology, data and digital platforms.     Who are CIMA? CIMA is the world’s largest professional body of management accountants, offering the most relevant accounting qualification for a career in business. It combines accounting, finance, and management with the business skills needed to add value to any organisation.     How do my students get started with the CIMA qualification? CIMA is open to everyone, with no degree required. Your students can start studying with us as soon as they finish school or sixth form and they won’t need any formal qualifications to apply, just ambition and a willingness to succeed.     Study CIMA through apprenticeship   A CIMA apprenticeship is available to anyone who is living in England, over the age of 16 and not in full-time education. We offer apprenticeships at two levels – Level 4 and Level 7.   CIMA delivers end-point assessments at each level to make sure that apprentices are fully competent in their role and meet the knowledge, skills and behaviours prescribed by the apprenticeship standard.       Register directly to study CIMA, starting with the Certificate in Business Accounting CIMA’s flexible structure and on-demand exams mean students can take things at their own pace. They may decide to learn with one of our recognised tuition partners, or study using our online learning platform CIMAstudy.com       Study CIMA through a degree If you have students who wish to go to University, we have teamed up with a number of UK universities to offer your students to study the CIMA qualification while completing their degree.       For more information about the benefits that the CIMA qualification brings to your students leave your details with the CIMA team.

CASE STUDY
Richard Kinney studied the CIMA qualification while working at Arcadia Group before becoming commercial planning manager for Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment:

‘CIMA prepares students to work in business and isn’t limited to pure accountancy. In my experience the high level decisions made within a company are often driven or supported by a management accountant. To be part of this process really appealed to me’.
