If you are just about to finish your London A/L's, or have finished your London A/L's you are at a cross road, probably contemplating on what to do. Whether it is going to university, following a professional course or taking on employment, we have just the answer.

Wouldn't it be great to have a university degree and a professional qualification, since that is the trend nowadays? Wouldn't it be even better to get exemptions from university and not have to follow a degree from year 1?

So what exactly is CIMA and how can it possibly get you exemptions into a university degree?
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) is a prestigious UK qualification that prepares students not just for a career in Accounting and Finance but for Business as well. This qualification is not limited to commerce students alone. Over the years, we have seen many students who have followed Science, Maths and Arts streams also pursuing CIMA, since the diversity of this qualification will complement any other qualification you wish to undertake.

Furthermore, if you have just begun A/L's, and are still contemplating on simultaneously pursuing CIMA, you have made a sound choice. CIMA will complement you're A/L study and you will be professionally qualified at a younger age.

Students will find that the London A/L commerce stream is very similar to what is done in the first couple of stages of CIMA, and will help them immensely during their CIMA career. Further, for students looking at pursuing a university degree, you will be surprised to know that foreign universities grant exemptions for CIMA students (upon completion upto a certain level) to even the final year of an Accounting and Finance or an Accounting with Management degree. Universities even give exemptions for upto about a year for a Management or Business degree!
