Stand out with four letters that make a difference

CIMA’s CGMA curriculum focuses on business and finance, making it unique from other accounting qualifications.

When you study with CIMA, you will develop essential technical, business, people, leadership, and digital skillsets.

After achieving the CGMA designation, you’ll have four powerful letters after your name — proof that you’ve got what it takes to excel in business and finance.

With the CGMA designation, you have your pick of where to work, including with companies you might not expect — the NHS, a football club, the Red Cross, Boohoo, ASOS, and so many more.

The edge you need with prospective employers

Business leaders seek finance professionals with the CGMA designation to analyse data and provide strategic insights to improve business performance.

Having in-demand competencies — advanced finance, leadership, digital transformation, and data analytics — makes you an ideal member of the finance team.

Salaries for CIMA members begin at around £54,000 and rise upwards of £93,000.

All pathways to the CGMA designation follow the same robust CGMA curriculum

More than one pathway allows you to choose which is best for your lifestyle:

  • The CGMA Finance Leadership Program
  • Self-Tailored Learning Pathway
  • CIMA’s Apprenticeships (available in England only)
