For business-oriented: CMA - is it worth?

Post Reply New Topic

I want to register for the Certified Management Accountant courses and it would cost me about ~ $2500. For a salary of $700 per month in my actual, so to me this certificate would cost me a fortune.

Note I am majored in Business and ICT

I want to know how much is known the CMA in US? is it an added value for job candidates? What more do you learn?

In short, is it worth?

Though I dont know to much about a CMA. I do know credentials in that sector are very important to business. In the sector of business especially in the US people value experience more than education. What organization certifies the CMA degree?

^ IMA - Institute of Management Accountants. I know it's located in NJ -US, there's a branch here in Beirut.

Looks like a legit organization. Credentials is definitely one of the main things i look at every time I deal with a stock brokerage firm or make an investment. If you are looking for a possible job in the United States it would be worth it due to the relative cost of (what accountants make in the US) $2500 is a drop to a $100000 salary. How does your country view the credential? If it doesn't giving any edge in that pool why do it?

in Lebanon they view nothing , they view ass. I am planning to go to Gulf countries , where their companies are too US-oriented.

Yeah, the gulf it would be US-oriented. If its anything like the US... Knowing someone over there will help you leagues more than an additional accredited credential.
