It varies by background and study time. Many students complete the level in around 12 months, but motivated learners often accelerate by studying in focused blocks and booking exams at the right time. We’ll help you design a realistic plan.

No. Objective Tests are on demand; many candidates start with the subject that best matches their strengths. You must pass all three before attempting (or as a prerequisite to validating) the MCS—unless you’re on the Gateway route, which goes straight to the MCS.

Objective Tests use a scaled score; a pass is 100/150. The MCS is human-marked using competency rubrics; you’ll receive a pass/fail with a performance breakdown across competencies.

E2/P2/F2 are on demand all year. The MCS runs in February, May, August, and November with published timetables and result dates.

CIMA releases a “pre-seen” industry pack ahead of each sitting. You’ll analyse the business, industry, opportunities, and risks—then practise applying E2/P2/F2 to practical tasks. Our course includes guided pre-seen analysis and mocks.

Possibly. If you’re Gateway-eligible, you can attempt the Management Case Study directly; on passing, you’ll be awarded the Adv Dip MA and can move to the Strategic Level. We’ll check your eligibility and plan your prep.

Objective Tests give provisional results immediately (confirmation within 48 hours). Case Study results are released later to allow marking and standardisation.

We’ll review your performance report, target weak blueprint areas, and rebuild your question strategy. You can rebook OTs quickly; we’ll align your MCS resit to the next window.

Yes—Live Online or On-Demand. If you prefer in-person learning, our Harrow centre offers classroom options.

You’ll hold the Adv Dip MA and progress to Strategic Level (E3/P3/F3) and the Strategic Case Study (SCS) on your path to CIMA membership and CGMA designation
