CIMA Masters
Gateway
Assessment
CIMA acknowledges people with MBAs as future business leaders. However, it is
clear that in the competitive global market for talent, businesses are looking for
more than just strong financial and managerial skills. Increasingly businesses are
alert to the damage done to them by a failure to do the right thing which can
cause economic and environmental damage, undermining a company’s long-
term reputation and prospects.
Membership of CIMA, a global professional body with a record in business
ethics, corporate responsibility thinking and responsible business management,
underpinned by our membership’s commitment to a robust professional
code of ethics and ongoing professional development, provides an assurance
to employers of an engagement with all the issues that affect long-term
sustainability of their businesses.
Future proof your career
It is evident that MBA holders who can
actually demonstrate this higher level of
professionalism to employers will have a
strong advantage in the job market. After
consulting with leading business schools and
employers, CIMA is now able to offer those
with an MBA qualification the opportunity
to ensure their future success with the CIMA
Masters Gateway Assessment (CMGA).
Candidates will be required to pass just one
exam to achieve a prestigious qualification,
the CIMA Advanced Diploma in Management

letters CIMA Ad Dip MA. They can then progress
to the final level of CIMA professional exams
and (once they have passed, and professional
experience requirements have been met)
they become full members of the professional
institute.
