Training you'll get
Level 7 CIMA Qualification
If you’re looking to develop your accountancy skills to lead finance departments or provide management accounting consultancy, CIMA is your ticket. CIMA is split into Certificate, a standalone ‘beginner’ qualification, and Professional, which is split into three levels: Operational, Management, and Strategic.
- The Certificate in Business Accounting is your starting point if you're new to accountancy. You'll learn the fundamentals of business economics, financial accounting, management accounting, and ethical considerations of commercial activity.
- Operational teaches you about organisational management, costs and analysis used in production, and financial reporting and taxation.
- Management equips you with the skills to perform advanced management accounting and advanced financial reporting tasks.
- Strategic develops your leadership and strategic management abilities, and teaches you about risk management and financial strategy.
Future prospects
We offer grade and financial incentives to progress based on exam and role performance throughout the CIMA study, with potential to be promoted to manager role (depending on timing and performance)
