CIMA is the first UK professional accounting body to give its commitment to promoting the long-lasting employability of its members as part of a continuing learning agenda.

CIMA's life-long employability framework is relevant to all individuals within and beyond the finance community who wish to develop competence and knowledge in financial management.

CIMA offers development to everyone with differing ambitions: those aspiring to a professional qualification, members wishing to update knowledge or develop further expertise, and non-finance managers wishing to develop a secure grounding in financial management. CIMA offers career development routes to all these individuals by providing access to life-long learning opportunities and resources.

The CIMA life-long employability framework supports individual requirements for continuing professional development at all levels:

  • knowledge development in key specialist areas
  • CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting
  • CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting
  • CMA professional qualification
  • director-level training appropriate for Fellowship of CIMA.
