Learning System

Your Complete Solution to Prepare for the New, Two-Part Certified Management Accountant (CMA®) Exam

The Institute of Certified Management Accountants (ICMA^®) has updated the curriculum of the CMA exam to a new two-part format.  The new curriculum more closely aligns with the knowledge, skills and abilities that an accountant or financial professional in business uses on the job today – financial planning, analysis, control, and decision support. These skills are critical to the success of finance teams. The new CMA exam allows an employer to more readily understand the applicability of the CMA to a corporate career path and allow the candidate to more efficiently demonstrate the skills evidenced by the CMA. The goal of the new CMA program is to ensure that the CMA remains the most appropriate designation in the world for accountants and financial professionals working in business.

CMA's are professionals driving business performance. Those who have earned the CMA credential have demonstrated both technical competencies and an understanding of the linkage between strategy and financial performance, grounded in a firm commitment to upholding strict professional ethical standards.

Johnson & Wales University uses IMA's CMA Learning System version 3.0, a state-of-the-art study program delivering today's most comprehensive, customized learning experience to prepare for the new CMA exam. It combines live courses, IMA study materials, and Online Practice Test features which can be used to assess overall progress and to prepare for success on the CMA exam.

These instructor-led review courses will be delivered in two convenient courses, mirroring the two parts of the CMA exam.  Part 1 is scheduled from March – May and Part 2 is scheduled from October to January of each year.
