4 Personalised progression through the CIMA qualification. We have created flexible study schedules that allow you to progress through the levels in the most appropriate way for you, from an accelerated 3 4 month route to 12 months per level there is a breadth of options available. All routes provide you with structure, but more flexibility than ever before. You can mix and match between the different modes e.g. E pillar via Online Classroom, F & P pillar via Online Classroom Live OT papers and ICS via In Centre Classroom we offer the choice to study multiple papers because our scheduling has been designed so the programmes offered via the different modes complement each other and you have the option to attend Online Classroom Live and In Centre Classroom sessions on weekdays, at the weekend and in the evenings in some centres. Standard Route 1 (can be adjusted to target any ICS sitting). Target Case Study sittings nine months apart, sequential OT programme. You would have a break of approx. 6 8 weeks between sitting your ICS exam and the next level s OT programme starting. In this example the first break is from the exam in mid August to programmes starting in October All programmes would be studied one at a time Exam complete in under 2 1/2 years You can progress faster by mixing and matching study modes Standard Route 2 (showing August, but can target any ICS sitting). Target Case Study sittings twelve months apart, sequential OT programme.

Exam fees are not included in the course price. As demand for these exams is high it is advisable to book your exam at the same time you book your course as this way you can get your preferred date at your chosen BPP location. We recommend booking your exam within two weeks of completing the course whilst the knowledge is still fresh and remember to qualify for our Pass assurance you must sit the exam within three weeks of your course ending.
