Exemptions

In order to apply for exemptions you will need to send us a certified copy of your award certificate and a copy of the transcript (details of the subjects you studied) along with your completed registration form and relevant fees. To be certified the copy of your certificate and transcript must be signed by a responsible person as a true copy of the original. We suggest asking your manager or a lecturer to sign the copy. All certified certificates and transcripts must be in English.

If you are awarded any exemptions we will confirm them to you upon registration.

Please note that you should not sign up for a CImA course until you have written confirmation of your exemptions. We do not accept liability for course fees which have been affected by an exemption decision.

When you have completed the Certificate, or if you already have a qualification that gives you direct entry, you can begin studying for the CImA Professional Qualification.
