CIMA to ACCA

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here moved on to ACCA after qualifying with CIMA?

Just wondering how many exemptions you received as a fully qualified CIMA member.

I completed CIMA back in 2014, and according to the ACCA exemptions calculator, it shows 9 exemptions. The thing is, I did get a few exemptions when I started CIMA because of my degree, so I’m not sure if ACCA will still grant the full 9, or if they only count exams I actually sat and passed.

I’ve spoken to ACCA support a couple of times, but I’ve had mixed answers and am still waiting for a clear confirmation. I’m hoping to take the SBL exam in December, but the delay is eating into potential revision time and I don’t really want to start studying if I end up not getting the exemptions.

Would really appreciate it if anyone who’s been through this could share their experience.
Thanks!
