CIMA announces 2014 pricing campaign

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), in an effort to make its qualification even more accessible to ambitious students and professionals in the UAE (across GCC) has announced a special pricing campaign. 

Students who wish to up-skill and build a successful professional career in business and finance, can now register for a CIMA degree and avail savings worth AED 600 with annual subscription fee waived off until Jan 2015. 

The courses include CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, which is an entry level business and accounting qualification for students with little or no business and accounting background, and the CIMA Professional Qualification which is recognised worldwide as the most relevant global finance qualification for business. The qualification is backed by two of the world’s leading accounting bodies (AICPA and CIMA), which works to make management accounting the most valued profession in business worldwide. 

Today, business and finance feature among the top career choices for students and young professionals in the UAE. Factors influencing this trend include fast-paced growth, ample learning opportunities, attractive compensation, flexibility to build a career anywhere globally, and the ability to work across any industry, department or niche sectors. 

Geetu Ahuja – Head of GCC, CIMA said: “There is a strong emphasis on recruiting qualified professionals to fill a growing number of key financial & management positions in the UAE. As the largest professional body in the world focused exclusively on management accounting, the CIMA qualification is the most relevant international accountancy qualification for business performance and finance management. 

It prepares students to lead and drive business forward on a strategic level. CIMA members are acknowledged for being at the forefront of their industry and for their contributions to business in the UAE.” 

The campaign extends across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a globally recognised CIMA certification allowing them to build a career across various departments in an organisation, not just in finance. 

CIMA is the largest professional body in the world focused exclusively on management accounting and currently has 203,000 members and students operating at the heart of businesses in 173 countries. To register, visit www.cimaglobal.com/register.
