Studying for CIMA through us is easy. We offers a unique, flexible concept of Distance Learning with web support, which means that you can study anywhere, at any time convenient to you. You don’t have to take time off work and you can control and fit your studies around family commitments.

On-line education is replacing traditional classroom based courses, and you no longer have to schedule time to suit others. With Web Supported Distance Learning you have the best of all worlds with a combination of integrated study material written, presented, and delivered in a variety of different ways to make sure that topics are viewed, discussed and reinforced through alternative methods.

For each CIMA subject, registered students will receive the following standard support package.

  • Study Texts and Exam Revision Kit written by authorized publishers.

Each study text covers the syllabus in a logical sequence to exactly the right depth. To assist in the learning process there are practical examples and questions for self testing. The revision kit contains a bank of practice questions and clearly structured answers. It will help you to be prepared for examinations by showing you what to expect.

  • Personal Mentor support.

Experienced practitioners are on hand at all times to answer any questions you may have about the topics covered in the study material. If you have any problems with specific aspects of the course or the study material is not clear, you can ask the mentor in your own words for an explanation. Mentors can be contacted through email and will respond promptly. As they are practicing Accountants rather than lecturers, they will support you with answers drawn from their considerable work experience.

  • Pocket sized revision notes.

Portable concise up-to-date notes for revision which you can carry with you at any time to illustrate key techniques and reinforce your learning.

Seminars 1 to 6 are available immediately and the seventh seminar (which includes a full mock examination) is available closer to the exam date.

The lecture notes are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader software which can be downloaded for free from ---here---

Audiovisual lectures with supporting notes and study material are not currently available for Papers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 13 and 15.

This unique combination of study material and support provides a flexible balanced approach, and allows you to learn in the way which suits you best.

We strive to supply study material within ten days, however this process may occasionally take 3 or 4 weeks to complete, after standard support fees have been paid.
