In addition to passing the exams CIMA requires a minimum of 36 months of relevant, verified work experience.
Sometimes the exam day doesn’t go to plan, and you don’t get the result you want. We recognise that when this happens, you don’t want to sit through the full programme again, preferring to focus on question practice and strengthening your exam skills.
In response to this we have developed a resit course. To be eligible you must have sat your Case Study in the last exam window and achieved a scaled score of 70 or above.
Deferral option
If you book a live or on-demand case study course you can choose to defer your exam to a later exam window if you let us know by the deferment deadline on your timetable and pay the deferment fee of £50. Students who defer the course are still entitled to the Pass Guarantee.
