We don't sell you a hundred webinars you'll never watch. We give you everything you need to learn, then focused human support exactly where the exam is won — the case study.
Full syllabus study texts, exam-focused tuition notes, worked examples in South African Rand, practice kits and mock exams for every subject — yours from day one.
3–4 dedicated live sessions per module with qualified tutors — reserved for the hard topics and exam technique, not padding. Real help when you're stuck.
The case study is where most students fail. Our pre-seen analysis, marked mock exams and structured technique coaching are built to get you through first time.
Everything runs through your student dashboard — materials, recordings, progress and live sessions. Learn from anywhere in South Africa, on your schedule.
Tuition fees only, in Rand, with CIMA/ACCA registration paid directly to the institute. Three study tiers and flexible payment plans — no hidden costs.
Already qualified? Convert between CA(SA) and CGMA, or top up with our growing library of CPD short courses — all bookable in a few clicks.
The CIMA structure
CIMA is built as four progressive levels across three knowledge pillars — Enterprise, Performance and Financial. Here's the full climb to CGMA membership.
How you study
Every CIMA and ACCA subject comes with the same complete materials. Choose how much live support you want — the price flexes, the quality never does.
Prices are tuition only — CIMA / ACCA registration and exam fees are paid directly to the institute. Africa rates apply across all African countries; International rates apply outside Africa and remain well below European providers. USD is a guide and follows the daily exchange rate (≈1 USD = R16.55). See full pricing for every programme →
Getting started
The whole journey is self-service — register, pay, and you're in your dashboard the same day. No back-and-forth with staff required.
Choose CIMA, ACCA or a conversion route, then the level and modules you're sitting.
Self-study, supported, or guided — select the level of live support that suits you.
Complete one simple form, choose a payment plan, and check out securely online.
Your materials, recordings and live sessions appear instantly in your dashboard.
Why it's worth it
CGMA and ACCA designations open senior finance roles across South Africa and beyond. The investment in tuition is small against the lifetime earning step-up.
The CGMA designation, issued jointly by CIMA and the AICPA, is recognised in major economies worldwide.
Management accounting and strategic finance sit among the most sought-after capabilities by SA employers.
Study around your job. Every resource is on-demand, so you progress at the pace your life allows.
Student voices
Real results come from the right materials plus help exactly where it counts. Here's what that looks like.
"The case-study coaching was the difference. I'd failed SCS once on my own — with CGMA Academy's marked mocks and technique sessions I passed first time."
"Everything in Rand, examples I recognised, and a tutor who actually answered. The guided option felt like having a study partner who'd already passed."
"As a CA(SA) the conversion route was clear and quick. They mapped exactly what I needed and got me CGMA-ready without wasting a single session."
