A year ago, if someone had told me that I’d complete CIMA by the end of 2024, I would have asked them what my other two wishes were..
I joined AME shortly after completing my Operational Case Study in February 2024. Over the next nine months, I tackled six Objective Test Question (OTQs) and two Case Study exams, culminating in my Strategic Case Study in November of the same year. It was an intense journey, but one that transformed me into a CIMA Affiliate in less than a year.
I owe much of my success to AME and the unwavering support of Tariq Sir. From day one, he believed in my potential, even when I failed to see it myself sometimes. His personalized approach to teaching, carefully compiled syllabus, and exam-focused practice sessions were instrumental in my preparation. His ability to simplify complex concepts—and sprinkle in a dose of humor, made even the toughest lessons feel manageable.
The PQ route, with its 16 exams and escalating levels of technical rigor, is no small feat. Yet, thanks to Tariq Sir’s expertise, particularly in the Finance pillar, I was able to navigate the challenges with confidence. Today, I am proud to call myself both a CIMA Affiliate and an AME Alumnus.
