Management Accountant

Choose a learning pathway that’s best for you.

CIMA’s learning pathways to the Chartered Global Management Accountant® (CGMA®) designation provide a focused way to develop the competencies required in business and finance.

All pathways follow the same robust CGMA curriculum. And once you’ve achieved the globally recognised CGMA designation, you demonstrate your proficiency in finance, operations, strategy, and management.

• The CGMA Finance Leadership Program is fully online, allowing you to learn in an interactive manner and complete embedded knowledge assessments (objective tests) whenever and wherever you like. You complete the case study exam at the end of each level during the specified timeframe.
• Self-Tailored Learning Pathway allows you to set your own pace and choose from various tuition options. You study nine subjects and sit an objective test for each, followed by a case study exam at the end of each of the three levels.
• CIMA’s Apprenticeships (available in England only) provide on-the-job learning. You would study for a Level 4 or Level 7 apprenticeship, depending on your employer. Per the CGMA curriculum, you would complete the case study exam at the end of each level during the specified timeframe.

One CGMA designation, countless career opportunities.

With the CGMA curriculum’s focus on business and finance, you will develop a blend of in-demand competencies that employers seek.

Critical thinking, data analytics, and business acumen are invaluable skills for developing strategic goals to improve business performance.

Earning the CGMA designation equips you to be a trusted adviser who can review, analyse, and advise on important aspects of business, such as cash flow, returns on investments, and financial and nonfinancial data.

New roles, new industries, and perhaps even new countries. Where would you like your knowledge to take you?
