CIMA online study providers?

[PerkyCyanPoet]

I’m interested in doing CIMA and am looking at online study providers.

With previous professional exams (paid for by an employer!) I’ve used Kaplan and BPP so I’ll likely go with one of them again, but they are quite pricey.

If anyone has done CIMA recently I’d be grateful for thoughts/recommendations. Thank you! ☺️

Bumping this for you as I’m very interested too. Also in which ones are the most useful/clear/accessible as I am short enough on free time (aren’t we all and yes, I know they take a lot of time!)

Thank you!

I found that First Intuition are doing webinars in December so I’ve signed up for one to see what they offer in case you are also interested - https://www.firstintuition.co.uk/fihub/how-to-study-webinar-sessions/

I’ve also seen Astranti being recommended quite a bit and also studying with CIMA themselves. I haven’t checked out the pricing for either of them yet tho!

Have you looked at CIMA FLP? You don't need to sit the CBE assessments for E1, P1, F1, E2...and after completing online learning you only have to sit the 3 case studies. There are different levels of study support available based on how much you are willing to pay.

First intuition are excellent. I did AAT and CIMA through distance learning and would recommend them.

FLP is a subscription model. Costs below:

Thank you! I had read about the FLP but not looked into it so will look properly over the weekend. I just want to get through it as quick as possible really. I am already ATT and CTA qualified but have moved and there are very few tax jobs here, so think it makes sense to pivot.

Greatest respect if you have CTA. You may find that your brain suits FLP nicely. Lots of people run through the assessments quite quickly and top them up with weekly or fortnightly webinars. The key is to time finishing the assessments to meet the deadline for sitting case.
