FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) Course eligibility and details.
What is the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) certification?
The Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) is a global credential awarded by the Investment & Wealth Institute (IWI) for professionals specialising in investment analysis, portfolio construction, risk management and client consulting, validating advanced applied skills in managing and advising on investment portfolios.
Is the CIMA course relevant for professionals in Tanzania?
Yes, CIMA is highly relevant for Tanzanian professionals working in banking, asset management, insurance, microfinance, fintech and corporate finance who want to deliver world-class investment and portfolio advice to local and international clients.
Who is eligible to enroll in your CIMA course?
You should typically have at least 3 years of professional experience in financial services and a clean ethical record in line with IWI requirements, and if you are close to this threshold, our team can review your profile and recommend the best path.
Do I need a finance degree to take the CIMA course?
A finance, accounting or business degree is helpful but not mandatory because relevant work experience and willingness to learn are more important, and we revise key finance and investment fundamentals before moving into advanced CIMA topics.
How long does it take to become CIMA certified?
It usually takes around 6–9 months to complete our training and sit for the CIMA exam, depending on your study pace, batch choice and selected exam window.
How is the CIMA exam structured?
The CIMA exam is a 5-hour, computer-based multiple-choice test with 140 questions, of which 125 questions are scored and 15 are non-scored pretest questions distributed across the exam.
Do you offer CIMA classes online for Tanzania?
Yes, we offer live online, instructor-led CIMA classes that you can attend from anywhere in Tanzania, and you also get access to class recordings and our LMS for flexible revision.
Will I get recordings if I miss a live class?
Yes, all live sessions are recorded and uploaded to our cloud-based LMS so you can catch up on missed classes or revise difficult topics whenever it suits you.
What study materials do you provide for CIMA preparation?
We provide internationally reputed study materials, detailed exam success slides, 6,000+ exam-focused practice questions, topic-wise quizzes, full-length mock exams and additional resources through our LMS.
How much time should I study each week for the CIMA course?
Most working professionals aim for about 8–10 hours per week, combining live classes, recorded videos and self-study, and we help you create a realistic study plan tailored to your work schedule.
What are the main benefits of earning the CIMA designation?
CIMA enhances your credibility as an investment professional, deepens your portfolio and risk management skills, and can open doors to roles such as investment analyst, portfolio manager, fund manager, wealth manager and risk analyst, often with stronger earning potential.
How is CIMA different from CFA?
CFA is broader and deeply analytical across all investment areas, while CIMA focuses more on applied portfolio construction and advisory for wealth and investment management, so many professionals choose CIMA to strengthen practical portfolio and client consulting skills, sometimes alongside or after CFA.
