Pam Bilsdon, Director of Studies, knet said

"We are really excited about this partnership, and what better time to introduce CIMA to our portfolio of international professional qualifications, than it's 90th anniversary year. CIMA is unique in that it is the only international qualification with a syllabus and examinations that focuses solely on the education, training and development of management accountants in business. It holds high esteem in the financial world, too, being endorsed by the World Bank in 2007 as a global authority in management accounting."

"CIMA constantly reviews its syllabus in line with industry requirements and best practice, which is a good benefit to employers, knowing that the development of their employees through CIMA will always incorporate the most up-to-date methodology and practice. For individuals, CIMA offers the opportunity to gain an internationally recognised quality qualification. We are certain this is going to be popular with businesses and individuals in Dubai and other areas of the UAE."

knet's first CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting is scheduled to start on Saturday 3 October 2009.
