We have looked very closely at how we can enhance your learning experience with us. Our aim is to make your period of study at DBS one of value which culminates in the exam results you want and need to progress towards your all-important CIMA qualification. With over 38 years experience in professional education and over 1,000 prizewinners and placings worldwide, DBS is perfectly positioned to build your CIMA professional future.

The first step in the CIMA journey is to register as a student with CIMA directly. You will require your individual CIMA student number to sign up for tuition with DBS, and therefore this online registration process should be completed prior to joining the college. Registration can be completed on the CIMA website. Once this has been completed, you may select your chosen papers and tuition packages at DBS via the online application system on our website. Please note that if you require exemptions to be approved, you may need to wait for confirmation from CIMA prior to signing up at DBS.

Tuition information pertaining to August 2014 tuition (including timetables) will be available in the coming months, click here for further information.
