CIMA - Who is the best study provider!!

Edward_WIlliamson

Hi All,

I am appealing for from any people who are or have studied CIMA. I have enrolled and am about to begin my studies and am looking for advice on the pros and cons of the different tuition providers. I have found there to be three main parties with operations in London (where I am based), however, if you can recommend others I'd love to hear. The three are as follows:
- Kaplan
- First Intuition
- BPP

I have looked at prices but as work is funding my study I am looking for peoples opinions on who they studied with and if/why they'd recommend them.

Any advice is always greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Ed

I didn't study CIMA but have studied other accountancy qualifications and have used all three to different extents.

Are you going to be taking classroom, online classroom or self study?

I used accountancy learning for AAT level 2, they were pretty good and cheap. I think they only do home study but it's been a few years.

I used BPP books and Kaplan books for self study for the rest of AAT. I think I preferred the books from Kaplan, there were more examples.

I have used the classroom of both FI and BPP. I preferred BPP, they have had more responsive tutors and the place was more comfortable. However the preference is minimal.
