Entry (registration) requirements for the CIMA Professional Qualification. You can register for CIMA and get started with your studies anytime, depending on the study option you choose. The level at which you will begin your CIMA studies depends on the CIMA Exemptions you will get, if any.
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) may award exemptions based on Qualifications or work experience. The CIMA Professional qualification entry or registration requirements is the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting.

Any prospective CIMA student who wants to register for CIMA can choose to register either under the CIMA Objective Tests (Traditional/ old) Route or the CIMA FLP route.
