The IMA Institute has 4 types of membership. The most important of them is the student membership, and professionals membership. You must pay for your own membership to obtain your CMA certificate.
There are various types of memberships, which are:
Student membership
This membership is for undergraduate students, who are still at the stage of bachelor ‘s or master ‘s. This membership is a discounted one, compared to the professionals membership. Be aware that if you are graduate and tried to sign up for this membership, the Institute compares between the date of graduation with the date of registering for membership, which will lead you to lose your accredited certification.
Professionals membership
It is more widespread and popular, as most of those interested in the certificate are either graduates or employees who want to rise in their work and gain experience and skills through obtaining the certificate.
If you finished the exam and your membership has ended, it is not necessary to renew it. The institute will send you the certificate at the end.
