For clients, stakeholders, employers, and regulators, it is essential that credentials be based on credibility, integrity, and a solid educational foundation. CIMA certificants must complete a rigorous process that includes a pre-study period leading up to passing the Qualification Examination, attend a one-week onsite intensive at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, pass a comprehensive Certification Examination, and sign and adhere to IMCA’s Code of Professional Responsibility.
In addition to the advanced investment management knowledge and expertise the CIMA certification imparts, it has also been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI accreditation sets the CIMA certification apart and makes it the first, and only, internationally accredited financial services credential in the United States.
