Compare your options
CMA Course vs Other Pathways
Many learners compare a structured CMA course with self-study or pursuing only a general business or finance degree. Use this table to see how EduDelphi’s CMA training stands out.
| Criteria | This Course CMA Course |
Alternative 1 Self-Study Only |
Alternative 2 General Business/Finance Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Pass US CMA (IMA) Part 1 & 2 and advance in management accounting. | Gain CMA knowledge independently without structured coaching. | Broad academic foundation in business and finance subjects. |
| Best suited for | Learners who want a clear, mentored path to CMA plus career growth in Bahrain/GCC. | Highly self-disciplined candidates comfortable planning everything alone. | Students seeking an academic degree but still needing CMA separately for specialization. |
| Exam structure | 2 parts, computer-based, flexible global Prometric windows. | Same CMA exam structure but without institute support. | University-style term exams; CMA must be pursued separately for certification. |
| Time to complete | 6–9 months with focused preparation and guidance. | Usually longer with higher risk of delays and drop-off. | 2–3+ years for the degree; CMA adds extra time on top. |
| Structure & guidance | Structured syllabus, study plan, mentoring and doubt clearing. | No structured plan or continuous guidance. | Structured classes but not CMA-exam-specific. |
| Trainer support | CMA/CPA trainers with 10–20+ years of experience. | No trainer or live support. | Faculty support focused on degree curriculum, not CMA. |
| Study material & LMS | Reputed materials, 4,000+ slides, 3,000+ questions and recordings. | Depends on what you buy or follow on your own. | Degree textbooks not aligned to CMA blueprint. |
| Exam strategy & mocks | Intensive mock tests, exam tips and time management training. | Mocks only if you arrange them individually. | Rarely includes CMA-style mocks or strategy. |
| Admin & registration support | End-to-end guidance for IMA membership and Prometric booking. | You must manage all registrations and deadlines alone. | Typically no support for external certifications like CMA. |
| Career outcomes | Strong fit for roles like Finance Manager, Controller, Management Accountant. | Depends entirely on self-study effectiveness and exam success. | Improves employability but does not provide a CMA credential. |
Use this comparison to choose the right path based on your timeline, budget and need for structured support in clearing the US CMA exams.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CMA Course eligibility and details.
What is the CMA course and why is it important in Bahrain?
The CMA course (Certified Management Accountant) is a global certification in management accounting and strategic financial management offered by IMA (USA). In Bahrain and the GCC, it is highly valued for roles in planning, analysis, controllership and finance leadership, giving you a clear edge over general accounting qualifications.
Who is eligible to enroll in the CMA course in Bahrain?
Anyone with a bachelor’s degree in any discipline (completed or pursuing) from an accredited college or university can enroll. Students can start CMA preparation while still in graduation, and a basic understanding of accounting is helpful but not mandatory.
Can I start CMA while I am still doing my bachelor’s degree?
Yes, you can start CMA after 12th and during graduation. Many students in Bahrain begin CMA studies alongside their degree so they can complete both parts within 6–8 months and enter the job market with a strong professional credential.
Do I need two years of experience before I can get the CMA certificate?
You can sit for and clear both CMA exams without experience. After passing, you need two continuous years of relevant work experience in management accounting or financial management to receive the actual CMA certificate, and you can use the exam-clear confirmation email to apply for jobs while completing this experience.
How long does it take to complete the CMA course?
With a focused plan, most learners complete both CMA parts in about 6–9 months. We generally recommend 150–200 study hours per part, which we help you structure through our classes, LMS and revision support.
What is the exam pattern for the CMA course?
Each CMA part is a 4-hour computer-based exam with 100 MCQs (3 hours, 75% of the score) and 2 essay scenarios (1 hour, 25% of the score). You must score at least 50% in MCQs to proceed to the essay section, and there is no negative marking.
When are CMA exams conducted during the year?
CMA exams are available in three testing windows each year: January & February, May & June, and September & October. You can choose any working day within your selected window, subject to seat availability at Prometric.
Where can I take the CMA exam in Bahrain?
You can take the CMA exam at Prometric Testing Centers such as Amideast, Knowledge Village, Bahrain and Prometric Testing Centre, World Trade Center, Diplomatic Area, Manama, or choose nearby GCC centers like Abu Dhabi. We guide you in selecting and booking your slot.
Is there any negative marking in the CMA exam?
No, there is no negative marking in the CMA exam. You are scored based on correct responses, which encourages you to attempt all questions.
What is the passing score for the CMA course?
The passing score for each CMA part is 360 out of 500 on a scaled score basis. Globally, average pass rates are around 35% for Part 1 and 50% for Part 2, which is why structured training is so valuable.
What study material and support do you provide for CMA Bahrain students?

Will you help me with CMA registration and exam booking?
Yes, we act as your complete guide. We help you with IMA membership, paying the CMA entrance and exam fees, understanding the handbook and booking your exam at Prometric in Bahrain or the GCC.
What are the different training options for the CMA course?
We offer three flexible modes: Self Paced with 60+ hours of recorded videos, study materials and 3,000+ questions; Live Online with 100+ hours of live training, mock tests and revision classes; and In-house Live for corporate or one-to-one training tailored to your organization or schedule.
What happens if I do not pass the CMA exam on the first attempt?
If you do not pass on your first attempt, you can re-sit the exam in a later testing window. We support our students with additional guidance and the option to attend upcoming sessions so you can close your gaps and clear the reattempt confidently.
Do I need an accounting background to succeed in the CMA course?
An accounting background is helpful but not compulsory. Our learners come from accounting, finance, engineering, IT, operations and business backgrounds, and we review your profile and help you strengthen any foundational areas during the course.
What job roles can I get after completing the CMA course in Bahrain?
After earning the CMA, you can aim for roles such as Finance Manager, Financial Analyst, Management Accountant, Cost Manager, Financial Controller, Chief Accountant and eventually senior leadership positions like Finance Director or CFO in Bahrain or abroad.
How does CMA compare to an MBA?
CMA is a professional certification focused on management accounting, costing, planning, performance and strategic finance, while an MBA is a broader academic degree. Many professionals choose CMA for targeted technical depth in finance and then add an MBA later for wider management exposure.
