The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) this month is relaunching Global Learning, its accreditation scheme for tuition providers. The revised CIMA Global Learning scheme now features three accreditation levels: CIMA Global Learning Partner, CIMA Global Learning Advanced Partner; and CIMA Global Learning Premium Partner.
The CIMA Global Learning Partner designation is intended for new providers and those who are looking to begin teaching CIMA.
Existing providers who offer good standards of tuition will be able to apply for the CIMA Global Learning Advanced Partner designation while those providers who demonstrate on-going best practice and leading exam pass rates will be able to apply for the CIMA Global Learning Premium Partner designation.
Peter Stewart, Director of Learning at CIMA, said: "By launching a new global set of standards and accreditations, CIMA is helping students to make informed decisions about their choice of tuition provider while also supporting our learning partners in attracting students and delivering the best standards of education.
The revised CIMA Global Learning Scheme allows us to collaborate with course and training providers, including those who are smaller and newly established, to increase the availability and quality of CIMA exam training. In doing so, our ultimate aim is to support our students in fulfilling their potential."
All learning partners will receive targeted support and marketing collateral appropriate for their designation and where applicable, the encouragement and help to progress to the next tier.
To enhance quality assurance, providers will receive dated annual certificates and may be moved up or down the levels where appropriate.
Existing providers are invited to transfer into the new scheme in 2015; existing quality partners will receive the new premium partner designation while current listed providers who meet the necessary criteria will achieve the learning partner designation. The deadline for re-registering is February 28, 2015.-PR
