Exemptions allow you to skip certain CGMA exams based on relevant qualifications or professional experience in accounting, finance, or business.
In the exemptions calculator , you will see online prompts that invite you to share your professional qualifications, educational qualifications, and work experience. CIMA doesn’t charge for exemptions, and the online process is simple.
How exemptions benefit you:
- Sit fewer exams
- Start the CGMA curriculum at a more advanced level — perhaps the Management Level or even Strategic Level
- Enhance the possibility of earning your CGMA qualification in as little as one year
- Avoid duplicating prior learning, which saves you time and money
We tip our hats to your achievements. Reveal which exams you are exempt from, based on your qualifications and experience, and move forwards in your professional journey.
