Who is this development programme for?
This CIMA programme provides an opportunity and extra support for individuals in achieving full CIMA qualification by using their experience to apply for examination exemptions. This process fast-tracks an individual’s process on their CIMA qualification journey. This is particularly useful for those who may have been disadvantaged or found it difficult to sit exams to date, for e.g.:
- Childcare or carer responsibility
- Unrecognised non-UK based professional exams
- Lack of funding (employer or personal)
- Lack of relevant job opportunities (systemic, demographic, or social)
- Disadvantaged background due to education, demographic or social and cultural factors
