Build financial insight.

Certified Management Accountant training focuses on management accounting and financial decision-making. Compare the complete CMA preparation route, individual exam parts and combined study packages through the London Institute of Financial Studies.

Your starting point

Is this the right course for you?

This subject is relevant to accountants, finance professionals and learners interested in planning, performance and business decisions. Your existing education, exam progress and preferred study pace help determine whether to choose the full preparation route or one exam part.

Curriculum overview

Skills with a clear purpose.

01

Planning and performance

The Part 1 pathway is titled Financial Planning, Performance and Analytics. It connects accounting information with planning and performance questions, rather than treating financial figures as an isolated reporting exercise.

02

Financial decisions

Part 2 focuses on Strategic Financial Management. Compare this route when your study priority is financial analysis and the decisions managers make about resources, risk and business performance.

03

Reporting and tax extensions

The institute also publishes CMA with IFRS and CMA with IFRS plus UAE Tax packages. These extend the study scope; ask for the separate syllabus and assessment arrangements for each included component.

04

Exam preparation

Choose a plan around the exam part you intend to prepare for. Ask how taught sessions, practice questions, revision support and the intended exam window fit together before confirming your place.

One part or the full route?

If you are already progressing through CMA, an individual part may match your immediate objective. If you are starting out, compare the complete preparation route and its suggested sequence with the team.

CMA or ACCA?

Before you enrol

Your questions, answered.

Does a CMA preparation course award the CMA qualification?

Training and professional certification are separate. Confirm the awarding body's current exam, education, experience and membership requirements, as well as which fees are included in your training quote.

Can I study only CMA Part 1 or Part 2?

Yes, the institute publishes separate Part 1 and Part 2 course pages as well as a complete preparation route. Ask which current batch and study format match the part you need.

What is included in a combined CMA package?

The published combinations add IFRS, or IFRS and UAE Tax, to CMA preparation. Ask for a written breakdown of teaching, materials, assessments and any separate exam or registration costs.
