However, currently no formal assessment is included.

  • Books and printed material

    • I already have a CIMA text book. Should I buy the online course as well?

      There are similarities between the coverage of the CIMA textbook and the online courses as they both provide comprehensive coverage of the CIMA syllabus. The main difference is the treatment of the material: CIMAstudy.com offers a different learning experience from the book, bringing the theory to life and giving you the opportunity to learn in a more interactive way as well as providing new case studies, and exercises within the modules to test your understanding and exam practice questions.

      Any of the features of the course are interactive activities which cannot be printed. However, there are parts of the course that can be printed—these include the Review Questions and answers, the readings and the Know More content.

      In addition, in the certificate courses you can also print out your score card at the end of the assessment showing you which areas you may need to do extra work on
