Elite Pathway Operational Level

We provide you with the E, P and F course books for you to work through before attending classes in order to ensure that you have no knowledge gaps. Classes are offered online via Zoom. We run classes for every case study sitting. Classes are held over two weekends (Sat/Sun) from 9am-5pm. All material is included and you also have access to our Online Portal (with additional video lectures from BPP's top lecturers and online question practice). Video lectures can be downloaded to your mobile phone and viewed offline. You will have access to the Online Portal up to your exam date for sitting-based exams. Classes are subject to minimum numbers

Each level of the CIMA Professional Qualification culminates in a Case Study Examination, which integrates the knowledge, skills and techniques from across the three pillars into one synoptic capstone examination.

At the Operational level, the role simulated is that of an entry level finance professional and the capstone Case Study Examination provides a simulated context, which allows candidates to demonstrate that they have acquired the required knowledge, skills, techniques and mindset for that role.

Each case study exam is a three hour long computer based exam. There are four windows a year when you can sit your case study exams (February, May, August and November). Within each window, exams will be available for three days from Wednesday to Friday. Exams can be sat at a Pearson Vue exam centre or at home. Information about a fictitious company is released 7 weeks prior to the exam, which forms the basis of your Case Study exam and is called the 'pre-seen material'.
