Reasons to register as a CIMA student
Firstly, it is essential to register as a Student Member of CIMA. You should also register for all the exams in time, before the closing date of the exam registration each year. Only Student Members of the CIMA’s exam registration will be accepted. You can easily register online and find all applicable information at CIMA’s main website.
How can I become a CIMA Member?
Students who have completed their Professional Qualification successfully and also gained their three years relevant practical experience will be allowed to apply for their CIMA Membership. This is to be seen as a great honour and will serve to distinguish Members from other accountants and managers. After your CIMA registration is approved you can place the letters ACMA after your name. This will be an indication of your recognised status as an Associate Chartered Management Accountant.
