Know About CIMA

CIMA is an internationally recognized professional qualification in management accountancy, which focuses on accounting for business. First Intuition provides a flexible range of study options to help students to pass their exams first time. All our tutors are subject experts and bring a wealth of experience to the classroom, making the subject matter more interesting and enjoyable.

As a CIMA Quality Learning Partner you can be assured of the very highest levels of tuition and fantastic pass rates. The pass rate for students who attended tuition, revision and question days for the May 2012 exam sitting was 87%. This is considerably higher than the national average. And with all classes capped at 30 students our courses represent excellent value compared to other leading tuition providers.

CIMA Way To Study:

First Intuition offers classroom, online and home study courses. Whichever option you choose, you will receive a
 comprehensive set of study materials and full tutor contact details so you can call or email your tutor at any time
 if you need help or advice with your studies.

Classroom courses are offered from our London, Bristol, Cambridge and Reading centers  all of which are
 equipped to a high standard and include free refreshments for a more relaxing study experience. 
Online courses allow you to study at any time and at your own pace. You can access all online resources
 via a standard internet browser and you can interact with fellow students via the subject forums.

Home study courses give you complete flexibility to study on your own, but with your tutor just a phone
call away if you have any questions.
