Upon passing all the 4 exams ie CIMA E1, F1, P1 & Case Study, a student will be awarded a CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting which is SAQA and QCTO registered at NQF level 6. The student will also be awarded with the CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting part-qualified designatory letters ‘CIMA Dip MA’ and then qualify to proceed to the Management Level.
If you opt for the CIMA Finance Leadership Programme (CIMA FLP) then you will not sit for the OT exams but rather be assessed continuously while you learn (instead of taking objective tests). This means you will then only sit for and pass the CIMA Operational Case Study Exam to be awarded a CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting.
