My CIMA Experience - an overview of my experience in becoming a CGMA! 😃

Key Affiliate Links

In 2017 I set upon my journey to becoming a Qualified Accountant. 2.5 years later of no weekends, long evenings felt all worthwhile after I passed all CIMA exams first time!

Throughout my journey I really felt like there was a lack of transparency of what it was really like to study towards the CIMA qualification. Although this is beyond me, I will be producing videos on various aspects of the CIMA syllabus, PER, CIPD & what it is like to be an accountant working in one of the world largest companies.

If you are looking forward to this then please make sure you do subscribe!

Many thanks,
Craig

As someone who is about to start my CIMA in a few weeks, this was very helpful mate. Not many videos on YouTube actually go into detail about what the course entails. I’ve subbed for more!

Love these sort of videos. Great to hear the experiences of those who have done what others wish to do. Much appreciated

Interesting to here your experience. I went the CFA route myself. Love how you had no weekends for 2.5 years to doing a YouTube channel... goodbye weekends 😂

[sachinmistry]

Thank you for this video. Really good insight on CIMA. I'm planning to start my qualifications later this year.

[Anthony-nriq]

Glad to have found your channel! I find the cima website hard to navigate and you have a nack to summarise this information succintly.

Your a great communicator, do you have any resourrces on communication style? Or tips on how to become more articualte?

I agree wholeheartedly that there is a large gap between academic accounting and real life work force accounting.

Hello Craig,
Just few days back I came across your videos related CIMA. These videos are very much informative and your feedback and experience is helping me allot is decision making regarding CIMA. Currently, I am planning to enroll for the CIMA FLP program. I saw your video related to CIMA FLP but it would be really great of you share make a more detailed video for the FLP. Thanks and keep up the good work. You are doing really great. 🙂🥳

Great content, thanks! I know you said that potentially you’ll make a whole video on the PER but I’d really appreciate some quick advice as soon I have to make a decision as to whether I accept a permanent offer from my current job. I currently work in an Accounts Payable department at a transactional level but I’m looking to start my CIMA qualification. Can you meet the Practical Experience Requirements while only working at a transactional level? At my current job I’m not sure when I’d be able to gain experience with “management accounting” tasks so I’d like to know how much of the PER (if any) I could gain while working at a transactional level. Thanks and best of luck with the channel

as a first year student doing my degree of BCOMPT in Management Accounting in South Africa, id like to know when will i start doing my articles

I have 2 degrees as an Accountant and a Licentiate in Administration. I had to study English from 0 to C1. It was kind of the same: passing A1, A2, B1, B2, and finally got an official C1 certificate. Now, in order to become a chartered accountant at Cima, I have to start from 0! If I got that qualification, I think I can die in peace. Also studying German at the moment.

Thanks for this video. Please can you create a video on how you were able to achieve this great feat within 2.5 years. Thanks in anticipation.

[avehekuverua]

Thank you for the insightful video! I am looking to start the CIMA course next month with Kaplan, I will be doing this alongside my current job however I would like to get a job in the Finance industry to build my work experience. I do not have a degree but I do hold a level 3 business qualification, how would you advise the best to get a job in finance without the necessary qualification?

Do you feel the knowledge you gained from CIMA has benefited you in investing as well?

I'm currently doing CIMA and I just subscribed
