CIMA Entry Requirements

CIMA qualifications are open to everyone 18 and older. The syllabus builds step-by-step, and you will develop your knowledge and skills as you progress through the qualification.

CIMA course exemptions

You may previously have passed exams which entitle you to exemptions from some of the CIMA exams.

You can expect to receive exemptions if you hold a relevant degree or a relevant professional qualification. For example, AAT membership offers exemption from the whole Certificate level.

We advise you to check your starting point with CIMA. To obtain written confirmation of your exemptions status, visit www.cimaglobal.com/exemptions (opens a new window)
