EXEMPTIONS
The number of exemptions awarded by CIMA will depend on what you studied, where you studied and when you studied. Applications for exemptions can only be made once you are a registered CIMA student. The exemptions awarded will be based on documentary proof of prior learning OR work experience (also recognized under the Global Special Pathway). This program is especially designed for the individual who has previous years of workplace experience throughout all levels. Exemptions are awarded to individuals depending on their experience, which will then qualify the applicant for the appropriate package after they have been assessed.
