Additional Members' guidance
As a CIMA member, there are a number of different areas of expertise you may be involved in. This section of the Members’ handbook will be continually developed to ensure we provide up-to-date and relevant guidance to all our Members.
Applying for CIMA fellowship
If you have at least a minimum of three years’ experience at a senior and strategic level, you may be interested in applying for CIMA fellowship. This sets you apart from other CIMA members and demonstrates that you have senior, strategic experience and have also gone through a rigorous assessment process similar to that for CIMA membership.
You can apply for CIMA fellowship if you are currently an associate member (ACMA) or a CIMA passed finalist.
