Our Refresher Study Recommendation if you Start At Case Study - OCS/MCS/SCS
We have designed the TEPP Package (TEPP Combo 4) for you to pass your exam 1st time! Our Recommendation is that even though you qualify to start at any CIMA Case Study Level (OCS/MCS/SCS), the course will require that your knowledge of Objective Tests, E, P & F Pillars under the CIMA 2019 syllabus is up to date as the course mainly seeks to apply that knowledge to the case study. Please ensure you review the CIMA 2019 Syllabus for your respective level to confirm that your prior qualification was not only recently obtained but rigorously covered this syllabus. If not, we strongly recommend that you enrol for/take our Tuition & Exam Preparation Package (TEPP -Evenings or Weekends) to help deepen your mastery of Objective Tests (E, P & F Pillar Content) and secure the vital tools you will need on the case study course instead of going direct. Experience teaches us that 90% of those who follow our advice pass 1st Time whereas 95% of those who do not often regret it!
CIMA Fees
How much does qualifying for the CGMA Qualification cost?
1. CIMA Registration £99
All new students pay a one-off registration fee, which also covers your first year’s subscription. For most students, registration costs £99. Effective from May 2023, To encourage exam participation and progression during the first year of study, candidates registering with CIMA for the first time, will only be able to complete the registration process if they additionally purchase 1 exam credit which will be valid for 12 months.
Additionally, the only exam credit a candidate can purchase, during registration, will be limited to CIMA's recommendation, notably:
-
Certificate in Business Accounting = Purchase a BA2 exam credit
-
Operational level = Purchase a E1 exam credit
-
Management level = Purchase a E2 credit
-
Strategic level = Purchase a E3 credit
Re-registration fee is applicable if your CIMA membership has lapsed and you want to join again, This is £225. The re-registration fee (£225) includes the annual subscription fee for that year and must be paid at once for your account to be re-activated.
2. CIMA Annual Subscription £145
Your first year’s subscription is included in your registration fee. Your annual student subscription gives you access to things like the Future Mindset pack, the CIMA Study Planner, FM magazine and a listing in the CIMA student directory. You will need an active student subscription to be able to sit your exams and submit your practical experience requirements (PER) which you need to pay every year (after your first year) on 31 March. Access CGMA FLP Fees.
3. Exemptions
CIMA removed exemption fees in 2019, so if you think you don’t need to sit certain CIMA exams because of your relevant degree or qualification you will need to submit your qualification documents when you register with CIMA. You can check whether you’re exempt from any exams using the CIMA exemptions calculator.
