Hi Janice. Yes, you can directly register without going through any institution. You'll need to join the IMA, pay the entrance fee for the CMA program, and then register for the exam parts. However, to study for the exams, you'll need to purchase study material from course providers since the IMA does not provide it to its members.

Hi. I appreciate your interest in our study materials. Our CMA exam textbooks are the right tool for anyone who is studying for either part of the CMA exam.

Hi Varshitha. Since your graduation is coming up in July 2024, you would register for the CMA program as a student if you are still enrolled as a student at the time of registration.

You can read it here: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-certification-requirements/ref/nathan/

Hi. After passing both parts of the CMA exam, you will need two continuous years of professional experience in management accounting and/or financial management. This experience can be gained before or within 7 years of passing the exam. Part-time positions can also count towards this requirement as long as they amount to a full-time equivalent. I posted an article on my blog that explains each of the requirements. You can read it here: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-certification-requirements/ref/nathan/

Hi Clare. Both CMA and CPA are valuable certifications, but they have different focuses and career implications. If you are interested in management accounting and strategic decision-making, CMA may be a better fit. If you are looking for a career in public accounting and auditing, CPA may be a better choice. I wrote an article on my blog about both certifications. You can read it here: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-vs-cpa/ref/nathan/ If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi. You don't need to bring your own laptop to the test center. The CMA exam is administered at Prometric testing centers, where they provide all necessary computer equipment.

Hi. The essay answers in the CMA exam are not directly extracted from the questions themselves. They require you to analyze and apply your knowledge to provide comprehensive responses. It’s essential to understand the concepts thoroughly and practice crafting well-structured answers to succeed in this section of the exam.
