    Hi Coach, I’m planning to take the challenge and go for a CMA qualification, I’m wondering if learning the part 1 for few months (4 - 6 months) then take the 1st exam, then go to part 2, learn for few months (4-6) and then take the 2nd exam. Doing this you have less information to process and thus perform better in the exam. Is this a good strategy, or should I go 10-12 months on both parts and then try to take the exams?

    Hi Sonja! You should remember that to obtain the CMA certification, you must meet specific educational requirements. CMA educational requirements can be fulfilled in two ways: 1. Earn a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university 2. Have a professional certification Also, CMA does not require you to have a bachelor’s degree in finance or accounting. But your degree must come from a regionally accredited or Distancing Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) accredited university or college. If you don't have a bachelor’s degree, you can still qualify for the CMA certification requirements by holding a professional certification.

    I would highly recommend taking accounting and finance classes in college to have a strong foundation for the CMA exam. These classes will provide you with a solid understanding of the financial and accounting concepts that are covered on the exam. Additionally, taking classes will help you develop the necessary skills and knowledge to analyze and interpret financial information, which will be essential when taking the CMA exam. It is also important to note that the CMA exam is widely considered to be challenging, so having a strong educational background in accounting and finance will give you an advantage when preparing for the exam. In addition to taking classes in college, you can also consider joining a student accounting or finance association, or participating in an internship or other hands-on experience in the field.

    Hi. After passing both parts of the CMA exam, you will need two continuous years of professional experience in management accounting and/or financial management. This experience can be gained before or within 7 years of passing the exam. Part-time positions can also count towards this requirement as long as they amount to a full-time equivalent.

You can start studying for the CMA exam before or after you graduate. College students can take the CMA exam. They just wouldn't get certified until after they graduate and meet the rest of the prerequisites. But it's a great way to get a head start.

Because the CMA is an advanced designation, my suggestion is to wait until you are in your third year of college to start preparing for the CMA exam. Once you get your bachelor's degree and pass both CMA exams, start applying for jobs to help you gain field experience.

    Hi Long, it's not necessary to have public accounting experience before going into management accounting. There are thousands of accountants who hold managerial positions and never worked in public accounting. I'm one of them. Is it useful though? Absolutely. All accounting experience whether private or public is useful in the long run.

    Hi. Understanding basic accounting concepts is crucial before enrolling in the CMA program. While the CMA syllabus builds on these fundamentals, having a strong foundation will significantly enhance your comprehension and performance throughout the course. If you need to strengthen your basics, consider reviewing introductory accounting topics to better prepare for the CMA journey.

    Hi. Absolutely! Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in management accounting is a great step towards preparing for the CMA exam. I posted an article on my blog that explains each of the requirements, including the educational requirement. You can read it here: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-certification-requirements/

    Xan, I think it'd be very valuable for you to have the skills and knowledge of a CMA to help your organization. CMA skills in business are so important. Every company should have at least one CMA on staff for sure.

    The CMA journey can be confusing, at first. To help clarify all the steps, I’ve written an article to help candidates like you understand the entire process step by step.

    I don't have an accounting degree. I study international studies as my undergrad degree. The only two accounting classes that I took were the intro to financial accounting and intro to managerial accounting. And I can't imagine getting a management accounting job without an accounting degree. How can I study for it without an accounting degree to serve as my foundation?

    Hi Hope! It's totally possible to get a management accounting job without an accounting degree. Many professionals make a career transition to accounting via the CMA designation. It's tougher for them to pass the exam compared to someone with an accounting degree of course, but not impossible. For folks who haven't had accounting exposure, my suggestion is to read an Accounting 101 textbook or guide to learn the basics. If you re-read your financial accounting and intro to managerial accounting textbooks, you'd be ready to tackle the CMA. Coaching support is going to be key for you since you'll need extra help to conquer the exam :)

    @@Cmacoach I see. Thanks so much for your reply!!!! So I will go through my intro to financial and Managerial accounting notes again and carefully before I begin the study journey. What is your recommendation for the CMA course? I heard that Willey is the best for people who do not have an accounting background to buy and use.
