The CIMA certification program is a rich and intensive 35-week, post-graduate level, executive education program.
CIMA offers an unrivalled opportunity to formally equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to build better quality investment portfolios – and be recognised for it.
CIMA sits in a clear and uncluttered space between the Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) and the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certifications. While CFP and CFA leave practitioners siloed in either the “planning” or “financial analyst” channels, CIMA is the peak specialist certification for investment and wealth management practitioners and non-practitioners involved in any aspect of constructing multi-asset, multi-manager portfolios.
There are currently 7,250 CIMA certificants around the world.
