Since I qualified as a CIMA, CGMA member, my focus has naturally been shifting away from the perspective of a student and instead focusing on my own career and development.
Nevertheless, the news that CIMA are offering a different route to becoming a qualified CIMA, CGMA member is big and exciting news for students.
The CGMA Finance Leadership Program (FLP) offers current and new CIMA students an alternative, modern, forward thinking route through the syllabus.
The CGMA Finance Leadership Program is remote based, self paced and fully online.
Remote and hybrid working is a norm these days, flexibility is a key motivator and the FLP reflects this.
The ultimate guide to CIMA FLP
If I was student right now and wondering what my step would be, I would have more questions than answers.
There are no doubt some big advantages with the programme, but you should also consider the other side of the equation – would you feel isolated? How much does it cost to enroll with CIMA on this route?
Astranti have put together a quite frankly brilliant in-depth article on FLP, it should answer all of the questions you might be asking yourself as a student at these crossroads.
Check out their Ultimate Guide to CIMA FLP for a comprehensive look at the programme.
If you’re a student based in England, Scotland and Wales who is enrolling on FLP, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the programme and why you decided to enroll. You can find me at @thecimastudent on X.
