Practical experience application form
You must complete an Assessment of Practical Experience/Membership Application Form. This needs to be signed by a proposer and seconder.
Your proposer and seconder need to verify the experience on your extended CV. These must be people you have worked for in the past or are currently working for. They do not need to be CIMA members or even accountants, however they must have direct knowledge of your work and have been in a more senior position than you in the organisation. Together they must be able to verify at least 36 months of the relevant practical experience that appears on your extended CV, including 18 months in the core area.
You may have written up a lot more than three years experience but a minimum of 36 months must be signed off. If your proposer and seconder do not cover the three years, you will need to obtain one or more signatures from previous managers (employers) to cover the minimum period of 36 months. Please ask your additional signatories to sign another copy of the Assessment of Practical Experience/Membership Application Form
