Courses with a tuition provider
Distance learning with CIMAstudy.com
If you want to choose when and where you study but would also benefit from tutor support, then distance learning may be the right choice for you. The official CIMA online resource is CIMAstudy.com. It’s ideal if you live in an area where there is little or no tuition provision, or if you prefer self-studying at your own pace. Courses are now available for the Certificate in Business Accounting and for Operational, Management and Strategic Level subjects. For more information, visit
Study with official CGMA textbooks and study materials
Looking for a cost-effective method to study the CGMA qualification? Study with the only CIMA faculty-reviewed and -endorsed study texts and materials — your only costs will be the texts, materials and exam fee. Home study requires high levels of discipline and self-motivation. The official CGMA textbooks can be purchased at www.cimapublishing.com.
Combining study methods with blended learning
You can combine your study methods and get the effectiveness of face-to-face tuition together with the flexibility of distance learning. An example of this would be a distance learning course, followed by a taught revision course. To find tuition providers who offer distance learning courses, use the AICPA & CIMA Registered Tuition Provider database.
