MBA a fast track to CIMA

Completing an MBA is one way of fast tracking towards the world acclaimed professional qualification in business management CIMA.

CIMA, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants UK has introduced an innovative fast-track route for MBA holders to become CIMA qualified – the CIMA Masters Gateway (CMGA). With professionalism at the top of the corporate agenda following on from the global financial crisis, there has never been a more important time for employees to prove their accountability and understanding of business ethics.

This fast track route is a unique offering from the world’s largest professional body of management accountants which trains the business leaders of the future. MBA holders around the world, who are interested in professionalising their CV, can study for one fast-track exam to gain the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting qualification and then progress to CIMA’S strategic level. A fee of £600 includes registration, first year subscription fees, the exam and online study packages – see www.cimaglobal.com/cmga for more information. To qualify for the CMGA exam in May 2012, those interested must apply by 31 January.

Robert Jelly, Executive Director of CIMA Education, says:

“MBAS have come in for a rough ride recently –. Everywhere there is a renewed emphasis on professionals who are guided by principles rather than expediency.

“Professional qualifications, like CIMA’S, oblige their members to not only study the fundamentals of business ethics but to apply them throughout their careers. Our new fast-track route for MBA holders is a pioneering initiative that offers business managers a chance to gain a professional and competitive edge.”
