Does anyone know much about this final bit of CIMA.
How do they assess your experience side of it? Also, can you have a gap between finishing the final three exams and doing the Top CIMA exam? Or do you have to do it straight after or within a certain time frame?
Thanks in advance

No idea, but i remember it took my boss about 6months to sort out all of her CV and the scrutinised any gaps.
Think its 10 Years from when you pass your first exam.0 -
Hi
There is no time limit on the completion of CIMA exams. You could therefore leave a gap between the 3 strategic exams and TOPCIMA (T4 exam), but you may need to call on the knowledge you gained at the strategic stage.
The practical experience is assessed by you submitting a record of your experience. In addition to the application form, this includes a summary of your work experience (i.e. where you worked, how long you were there for) and a detailed CV (which forms the bulk of the experience record). The record is verified by the relevant employers/managers/supervisors etc. There is a time limit on the submission of this record, it used to be 5 years from having passed TOPCIMA, but I think it may now be 4 years.
The student section of the CIMA website has a practical experience brochure for download.
