Students will need to be aware of the changes in the CIMA syllabus and ensure that you plan your paper choice and study plan carefully. The main changes are outlined below:

The CIMA 2015 syllabus comes into effect from 1st January 2015.There are a number of changes including revised syllabus content for all papers and a change in the methodology of assessment.

Revised syllabus

All papers on the current CIMA syllabus have been revised. CIMA have changed the title of each paper and have also changed the content of the papers. In most papers, there has been approx. 15% to 25% change to the content. It is important to note that the new syllabus content will be examined from 1st January 2015 there will not be a transition period.

Strategic Question Based Revision Courses.

The Question Based Revision courses are designed for students who are sitting the Objective test exam for the first time by focusing on key exam technique skills and covering a large amount of exam style exam questions.

For students who are repeating the Objective Test exam, these revision courses are ideal to perfect exam technique and focus on the different styles of exam questions that could be asked on each topic area.

Students can sit Objective Test exams at any Pearson Vue centre. A list of Pearson Vue centres is available on the CIMA website

www.cimaglobal.com

Once you have completed all papers at each level, you will be able to attend the Integrat-ed Case Study course and attempt the Integrated Case Study exam for the required level.

Our NEW Strategic Question Based Revision Courses are designed to prepare you for the new Objective Test exam questions. The key to passing the Objective Test Exams is not only knowledge but exam technique and time management.

Our expert team of Strategic level tutors have over 60 years of experience delivering final level CIMA courses and this experience is evident in the classroom.
