Participate online, from anywhere you choose.
You will be invited to participate in an online focus group discussion with a group of fellow participants who have completed or are currently studying CIMA’s CGMA Professional Qualification.
The aim of the focus group is to discuss and provide opinions on topics that are relevant to current and future CGMA candidates. The virtual session will be 90 minutes.
You may also be asked to complete a short survey/questionnaire or to review documents in advance of the virtual session.
We would not anticipate any pre-meeting tasks to take longer than 30 minutes to complete.
