Frequently Asked Questions

There is no specific minimum education required. University students can also join CMA and complete it along with their academic degree. That's the reason there is a separate membership tier for academic members also.

To earn CMA Certification you need to pass two exams namely CMA Part 1 and CMA Part 2 and prove that you have a minimum of two years working experience in accounting, finance or related field.

Work experience is not needed to take exams. However, after your CMA exams and then to claim certificate you have to show 2 years experience in accounting or related field.

If you are a full time student you can complete CMA within 6 months. For working professionals, it can be done maximum within a year.

There are 3 types of costs involved:
1. IMA membership fees which is renewable every year. ($280)
2. CMA entrance fees which is valid for 3 years i.e. you have 3 years to complete both exams. ($280)
3. Exam fees ($460 per exam)

The last is the tuition fee to prepare for your exams. This totally depends on where you get tuition. You may also think of preparing yourself and avoid the tuition cost at all.
