@@CRAIGO10 I have a Facebook page that seeks to empower young people to become high performers and achievers. We cover subject areas like personal development, personal financial management, investments, career choices, etc. we will be glad to have a virtual interview with you on one of the areas of your expertise. Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to a fruitful relationship in the future.
Hello Paul, it would be a pleasure. For the moment though unfortunately I have very little additional time over the next month. I am going on holiday & also trying to renovate a property that I just moved into. Getting videos out is a challenge in itself! Lets catchup soon. Thanks, Craig
I got accepted to study a Cima, I appreciate the videos and input✅. Will a Cima be worth it without degree stability, just a raw Cima qualification at first?
@@CRAIGO10 what about studying a masters degree which will give exemptions from numerous exams? Or would you not study this degree and complete all of the exams from the start?
Yes a Masters will give you exemptions & alot of them will give you up until the Management Case Study. It could help to fast track you. Completely up to you :)
Hi sir i completed my 12 th nothing but intermediate in India Can i register for FLP route but I am continuing my distance degree in archarya Nagarjuna university . Can u reply please
I don't understand why I get fewer exemptions with the FLP route (start at the Management level) vs the self-tailored learning path (start at Management case study) I'm confused about where to start.
Hey Craigo, I just cleared my OCS exam in Nov'22, and now I'm preparing for MCS exam, but I had two questions: A) Since I have completed my OCS exam, am I of some value to organisations even if I didn't pursue CIMA further levels? B) If I have taken a one year subscription, then do I have to repay a re attempt fees for sitting in next attempt?
Hey mate - congrats on the OCS! Of course you're still a value to the organisation. A person in Finance without any qualification would still be considered valuable. I've seen it where some of the best employees haven't progressed through any of CIMA. Do you mean a 1 year subscription for FLP? If so, I'm not completely sure but if I were to guess, I would suspect you'll get one free attempt and then have to pay for re-sits! Thanks! Craig
Can I knw whether both routes direct us to the same designation in the end or are there any difference in the end, what is the best way? what recognize more?
I am currently going to continue with managerial level and when i contacted CIMA Sri lanka they told me to continue with FLP programme rather than going through re registration all over again, When i contacted my tuition provider they also told to continue with 1 yr subscription and i will be done with the qualification. FLP Seems to be a cost effective pathway and i want to know can we do it within a year?is it realistic?
I haven’t got any direct experience with FLP. But what I would say is that CIMA tell you that you can, then you can. As far as I’m aware you should be able to achieve one year per module, and therefore reach CGMA in 3 years :) of course, subject to passing the case studies!
I have passed F3 paper. Need to pass E3 and P3. Upon enquiry, i came to know that i would have to sit just strategic case study. Would u recommend this pathway?
If you can sit the SCS then do so. However you will need F3 & E3 too, so i would probably recommend you just sit all of them, completely your choice though!
For the Practical Experience, does it have to be with a registered CIMA-accredited company or is it experience where you have/currently working in accounting? As for South-African qualifications, we can only do 3-year articles with registered companies that are registered with the South-African Professional bodies.
The practical experience doesn't need to be just accounting. If you have other examples of work experience that show the same skill then you can use these also. I would make sure the majority of your experience is accounting based however.Hope this helps!
CIMA are saying it does, but put yourself in the employers position. Someone who passed 12 exams would be more desirable than someone that passed 3 for the same certificate
@@korina62 No It matters no, I focus on the candidate who shows an understanding of theory and can evidence application but through experience. Passing 50 exams with no application in the real world means nothing for me. I want troops who have actually been in a ring not merely dreamt about it.
@@phenyomolefe4162 I agree that experience is probably as important as the qualification, but that's not the question, let's say you have 2 candidates, both have similar experience, one got CIMA the "old fashioned" way and one took this "easier" route, which one would you hire? I understand people come as a package, but the route of study is part of that package.
May I know if I am at the strategic level, but cannot completed within one year (paid 1 year subscription), so is it I need to subscribe another year? Another scenario is if I am stuck at case study at the end of the subscription period, do I need to paid another year subscription until passing of case study? Appreciate if you could given me some advice, thanks
I would speak to CIMA about that one. Not entirely sure myself. I would recommend you do all within your power to get through the strategic level in one year. I would suspect that if you fail the case study then you wouldn’t need to pay a full year subscription just to resit, but that’s my assumption. 12 months should be plenty of time for one level.
@@CRAIGO10 thanks, it would be great if you able to do another video more detail on FLP and its cost comparison between the two route and which one is more cost effective. I would like also to know is there a lot of calculation tested in Financial Strategy and case study exam? Thanks
Hi dr.im mangmnt level student today i failed p2 exm for the 4th time.i dont understand what to do.i dont hve any idea of flp mode though i watched full vd.can i do flp for one subject but i had to pay subscription for one year is it.insted of 60 otq question they will provide a case study ?
Sir what will happen if FLP subscription expires and student does not renew it. And after some gap, again want to start FLP. Then, can he do so? What would the fees then?
I don't know this for sure but I assume if you continue to pay your CIMA student annual fee then you'll be okay. If you need to know this answer I would consult with CIMA directly.
Can you explain your point clearly? If the case studies are the same and require the same level of knowledge to pass, what's the issue? How can it possibly lower the validity?
