I want to know when can you class yourself as a part-qualified cima member.
According to cima it is after you pass all business accounting fundamentals you can use the term part qualified in your resume.
This would be useful for me as I am job hunting at the moment.
So can anyone confirm this?

Can I suggest for your CV to just mention that you are an active student? I had the same dilemma and found that in many situations employers don’t understand the concept of CIMA and ACCA stages anyway. So rather than pigeon hole myself I’d apply for jobs that wanted PQ and just let the experience on my CV get me to interview stage. You can talk through your ambition to qualify later.
Good luck 🙂 - AuthorPosts
