CIMA, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, is the world’s largest and leading professional body of management accountants with 172,000 members and students in 165 countries. CIMA offers the most relevant finance qualification for business. Chartered Management Accountants are financially qualified business leaders. They operate in all areas of organisations, in both the private and public sectors. They drive success and create value by applying leading edge techniques with a commercial and forward looking focus. Most accountancy qualifications train people for private practice, working on external audit and tax issues. CIMA is different. CIMA prepares people for a career in business. It teaches skills for strategic advice, managing risk and making key decisions. With its emphasis on strategic business skills, a CIMA qualification widens career options, both within and outside financial management, with a global reach. CIMA-trained people work in industry, commerce, consultancy, banking, not-for-profit and public sector organisations. Many CIMA students have gone on to work in prestigious, high paying roles.
ENTRY TO THE QUALIFICATION
The CIMA Qualification can be entered at any stage in your career, either after School or College or after University. All you need is to want to succeed in business and have reached a good standard in Mathematics and English before you commence. If you are considering entering the work force straight after school or college, you can enter via the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting which is a recognised qualification in its own right, or it can be a stepping stone to the CIMA Professional Qualification. Should you decide to go on to Higher Education, you can enter the CIMA Qualification after studying at university and may gain exemptions.

"The Regional Heats are very exciting for us because we are watching young people who for the most part have never touched a 3D software tool before. Within the space of a few hours the students are bringing their products to life by creating virtual prototypes of them using our CINEMA 4D software. This is phenomenal in the time the students have available, especially when you consider that CINEMA 4D is used by professional designers to create realistic images of products for leading companies such as Black & Decker, Bosch, Cadbury, Canon, Nestlé, Nike, Philips, Sony and many more. Particularly impressive is the sheer confidence of the students when they present their Products to The Panel of Judges. The quality of work a Team creates within the space of a few hours is so inspiring - including financial planning, market research, and planning for a slick presentation using their product prototype created in CINEMA 4D as a key part of their presentation."
