I am really in TOTAL doubt about the quality and recognition of CIMA membership. In my view, it is a renowned DIPLOMA MILL which sells Certificates worldwide. Being a student of ICMAB (Bangladesh) and thought to be a member of CIMA by means of Accelerated Route offered by it (CIMA).
Recent decision of CIMA to exempt few Bangladeshi University MBAs from 11 subjects made ICMAB members and these University's MBA holders equivalent. That means, they will also get 11 subjects exemption as ICMAB qualified members.
My question to CIMA, did you really know and assess how much hardship and labour it require to pass a ICMA core subject? Where I can easily guarantee you a pass in any subject in these universities. I can guarantee you a MBA degree in these universities within 2 years but I can NOT guarantee you the CMA degree even within 5 years, being the same student.
I will request ICMAB honorable counselors to cancel MoU with this DIPLOMA MILL (CIMA) to remain with it's (ICMAB) heritage and dignity in Bangladesh. To refer the decision by CIMA please visit CIMA website.
