Where to study

Welcome to our College List.

The College list will provide you with details of colleges running CIMA courses.

CIMA Learning is our quality assurance scheme for colleges teaching CIMA students.

Using the College List

The College List provides information on colleges that run CIMA courses.

You can search by name of college, area, city, country, type of programme and level of programme.

The more specific your search, the more refined your list of colleges will be. The following information may help you in your search.

Quality Partner colleges

We list the colleges that have gained Quality Partner accreditation for their courses - they are recognisable by a distinctive logo.

Colleges that have the CIMA Learning Quality Partner logo have been assessed by CIMA and provided evidence that they can meet all of our key performance indicators. We are committed to ensuring that they continuously perform to our high standards. Where possible, we recommend all students attend a college with this logo.

This level of accreditation is only available in UK, Ireland, Botswana, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.

Listed colleges

Colleges who are unable to meet the criteria for Quality Partner will be listed on our college list.  At this level we will not formally assess the quality of tuition provided by these colleges. The listing service is not a guarantee of quality and we strongly advise you to carry out your own research before attending a course.
