CIMA Objective Test Classes
Fees & Study Options
CGMA FLP - If you are struggling to pass CIMA Objective Tests via the traditional Route, the CGMA FLP is the way!
You will work through three levels, with your knowledge put to the test via continuous assessments in CGMA FLP platform rather than sitting PearsonVUE Objective Tests. It means there are fewer exams on the CGMA FLP compared with other pathways.
At the end of each level, you will sit the same Case Study exam as all other CGMA candidates to test your mastery of business concepts and ability to apply your knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios. Learn more about FLP.

Effective from May 2023, To encourage exam participation and progression during the first year of study, candidates registering with CIMA for the first time, will only be able to complete the registration process if they additionally purchase 1 exam credit which will be valid for 12 months.
Additionally, the only exam credit a candidate can purchase, during registration, will be limited to CIMA's recommendation, notably:
-
Certificate in Business Accounting = Purchase a BA2 exam credit
-
Operational level = Purchase a E1 exam credit
-
Management level = Purchase a E2 credit
-
Strategic level = Purchase a E3 credit
