How to nominate your examination supervisor:

If you enrol for the CMA program you will have to nominate an exam supervisor to invigilate your CMA exams. According to ICMA policies the supervisor should be from one of the following:

• ·          CMA
• ·          CPA/CA/CIMA/ACCA/CGA
• ·          Chartered Secretary
• ·          Police Officer
• ·          Lawyer
• ·          Professor
• ·          Teacher 

ICMA will approve the same and courier the exam papers to the approved supervisor. You will undertake the exams at the scheduled exam period and at a venue suggested by the exam supervisor. The exam supervisor will be then required to mail ICMA the examination question and answer sheets. You will be notified the exam results within 4 weeks from the date of exams.

Students are eligible to sit for the CMA unit examinations once they have completed three month from the date of enrolment. There are no assignments to complete for online students. Please click on the following link to download your supervisor nomination form.
