CIMA FLP vs. Traditional Route| Pro's and Con's| Faster Pathway To CGMA 

What a wholesome and informative video. All the best with your exams ☺☺☺

Thank you soo much love, this was very helpful!

Well explained sis. I think the choice comes down to one’s preference, although FLP is a faster route in terms of completing exams (which is GREAT!), the traditional route for me does of emphasise more on understanding the content of each of the pillars better.

Such a great video. I'm at strategic level and fully recommend the traditional route. People I study with really fail the FLP route because of the lack of focus on the core modules. Traditional PQ route is the best.

I envy your presentation skills

@Precious about 4/5 months back,CIMA introduced FLP Foundation phase, so now you can take FLP from the certificate level, take your competencies to drive you into your first pillar (the operational level) When it comes to cost i think FLP is cheaper, i think its also easier to have to do competencies rather than the objective tests but i agree the case studies should be more challenging simply coz the build up towards them wasnt as intense...and also it will trickle down to personal preference, what you want, how you want to approach it, also with private tuition providers there is 1 or 2 year subscription option that you have to pay for once off usually just over 50% of the amount upfront then the rest in equal amounts in the following months so i think this is another con in FLP coz not everyone has that kind of money just laying around,but i was advised that if i start from Cert level, a 2 year subscription makes sense however when you start with case study on manegerial level then a 1 year should be fine Anyways good luck with your exams

#FLP! 🎉🎉🎉

About the practical work (articles), will the work experience in audit qualify as practical work or I need to start with a company that provided CIMA articles specifically ?

Hi Precious - super helpful video thank you! Hoping you can provide guidance. My exemptions put me at Management level. With PQ it shows I would start at Management CS. I am in 2 minds on 1) whether to do FLP 2) whether to take the exemptions. I have been out of university for a couple years (currently working). I fear that I have lost the “foundational knowledge / education”. Jumping into Management Level may be very tough vs starting from scratch with the Cert. do you know if the levels build on each content wise? Any advice on what you would do in my position? THANK YOU!

book name for CIMA Finance Leadership Program

Hi precious, Say for example you want dual designation.. you get a job (CIMA) related are you going to start over with articles when you go for CA(SA) which route is best/ better to start with between SAICA and CIMA?

Does FLP provides the same level of preparation for case study as the traditional route? If it doesn't, what is the best way to cope with this ?

The University of Limpopo also now has FLP

If I want to pursue this journey and opt for the FLP option , do I still need to apply for the exemptions ?

Do I need scans if my qualifications and work testimonials for me to be able to apply for the exemptions? Can someone help me with this question please 🙏🏾

Please recommend some good cima tution providers if you know of any.

If you have attempted CTA but didnt pass but you were obviously exposed to Maf (Managerial Accounting and Finance) at CTA Level. does that help you in anyway when doing CIMA?

I have also taken up the FLP route and i am currently happy. However i honestly feel like you need to dive deep into your preparations for CS as the competencies are speeding up the process and you might just focus on finishing them while not grasping the cariculum

If I’m not alumni I can’t apply ?

Hi, do you perhaps have info regarding the UJ PGDFM entry exam?

The private tuition providers are sooooo expensive yho 😪. I wish I studied at UJ.

If I have an honours but in logistics , would I qualify for CIMA
