CMA® All Inclusive Package

All seminars of CA controller akademie meet the requirements for professional education training credits from IMA^®.

Tutorial Profile

The three days of each part will have a clearly defined structure and content covering subjects that are highly likely to be new and difficult to the participants. David Fairchild, our instructor, is himself a CMA^® and CPA^® and writes test questions for the CMA^® exam. Participants highly profit from his experience and excellent hints of how to take the exam. We aim to optimize the participant’s exposure to the subject matter of the CMA^® exam by tailoring the tutorial’s contents to align with the education and professional work experience of a typical early or mid-career European finance professional. We therefore particularly focus on US-specific topics and CMA^® content which such European finance professionals may not have been exposed to. In addition, the session will review the CMA^® learning outcome statements to familiarize participants with the contents of the CMA^® exam. The participants will be asked to review these statements and to reflect their existing knowledge. They will be exposed to exam situations and essay writing. This exposure will enable them to sit for the CMA^® exam immediately or, if appropriate, target their further learning efforts more effectively.

CA 3-Day-Tutorial with CA controller akademie

The instructor-led tutorials of part 1 and part 2 by CA controller akademie cover topics based on a condensed version of the Wiley CMA presentation materials. They focus on those areas of the exam which typical early or mid-career European finance professionals have probably not been exposed to either in their previous education or through their professional work experience. This approach enables a targeted, highly interactive and practice-oriented learning experience beyond merely a presentation of Powerpoint slides. The tutorials prepare participants thoroughly for the exams, which are administered through the worldwide network of Prometric Testing Centers. Advance preparation for the tutorial is not required.
