    Hi All, 

    Is anyone using the CMA Exam Academy / CMA coach or has passed or not the exam with them and would like to share their opinion? 

    Thanks,

    Hi Norbert,

     I used it and I passed both exams and certified as CMA.

    The whole coach team was very professional and helpful and I do recommend CMA Exam Academy. 🙂

    Thank you Wenju, I appriciete it! 
    Did you have to use any additional materials, or all they offer was enough? 
    Also, do you mind me asking how long it took you to prepare for one part? 

    Thanks, 

    Norbert

    I did not use any additional materials and the CMA Exam Academy provided was good enough. I took about 4 months for part 1 and about 6/7 months for Part 2.
    Hope that helps you to get an idea!

    Hi Norbert,

    I used CMA Academy and thought it was excellent.  Passed exam 1 and 2 right out of the gate.  Nothing but good things to say.

    Hi,
    I used the CMA Exam Academy to pass Part 1 of the exam in January and just took Part 2 today.
    It's a good solution when you've got a busy work-life schedule and takes you through each part in 16 weeks each. Just to give you an idea, I registered with them in September 2021, so it took me two semesters to complete both parts.
    Before that, I had tried self-studying with Wiley and found that I just needed to be held accountable for the material I was learning, which I found with the CMA Exam Academy. I did go back to the Wiley material when I wanted to delve more in-depth into a topic, but that's just me: there's plenty material available with the academy (weekly videos along with audio versions for time spent in commute, reading and other assignments, paper and digital textbook, just to name a few).
    I would recommend the program, especially if you don't have so much time available and could use someone to guide you along the way.
    I hope this helps!
