CIMA Operational Level

Is it for me?
CIMA qualifications are recognised by employers around the world. This qualification addresses several functional areas of business, as well as introducing candidates to the economic, social and political context of international business. For each of the sections dealing with information systems, operations, marketing and managing human capital, the learning requirements alert students to major developments in the field as well as tools and techniques important to each functional area.

Students who pass all three operational level papers will be awarded the CIMA diploma in management accounting.

The pass mark for each operational and management level subject is 50%. Permanent credit is awarded for any paper where candidates score 50% or more.

We advise students to pass the operational level paper before attempting the management level paper in the same pillar. However, it is possible for students to study and sit an operational paper in one pillar and a management paper in another pillar. Students must pass all operational and management subjects before attempting the strategic level.

What are the benefits of taking this course?
When you complete the CIMA Operations you can then progress onto the managerial level. You will develop decision-making and management skills, as well as an expertise in technical accounting matters.
