Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence." – Colin Powell
Fathima Zikra began her journey towards achieving her CIMA qualification at the age of 16 after completing her Edexcel IGCSE exams. She bravely took on the challenge of pursuing her CIMA qualification through the Profession Qualification Pathway (16 subjects) while simultaneously schooling at Harcourts International School for her A Level studies. Through hard work, dedication, and focus, Zikra achieved the prestigious title of CIMA Passed Affiliate by the age of 18.
Reflecting on her journey, Zikra shared, "It feels incredibly rewarding to have completed the CIMA qualification while balancing my A Level education. With hard work and persistence, I was able to achieve this milestone at a young age."
Zikra credits the Academy of Management Education (AME) for being a key factor in her success. "AME’s structured approach, where we focus on one subject at a time, really helped me manage my studies effectively. I never had any pending exams, which made it easier to focus and stay on track with both my CIMA and A Level effectively."
She also praised the AME lecture panel for their effective teaching methods. "The lectures were simplified in a way that helped me understand complex concepts with ease. The teaching panel’s approach gave me the confidence to tackle my exams and succeed."
Zikra is deeply grateful for the constant support from her parents, family, teachers, and friends. "I would like to thank my parents for their continuous encouragement and belief in me. Their support has been instrumental in my success. I’m also grateful to my teachers, friends and the entire AME team for their invaluable help along the way."
For anyone considering CIMA, Zikra wholeheartedly recommends AME: "The support and guidance at AME are unmatched. Their structured approach helped me achieve my goal, and I encourage anyone pursuing CIMA to take full advantage of the resources they offer."
Zikra’s achievement of becoming a CIMA Affiliate at the age of 18 is an inspiring example for young students, proving that with dedication and the right support system, it’s possible to balance academic commitments and achieve success.
Finally, Zikra leaves this message for other aspiring students: "Challenges are inevitable, but with focus, persistence, and the right guidance, success will follow. Keep working towards your dreams, and you will make them a reality."
