  • 1.  IMA recognition.

    Posted 01-31-2023 01:20 AM
    Hi,
    I have noticed and want clarity on the point that wherever I apply for jobs and in the education column whenever I try to search and find the IMA as my institute no results are shown as compared to results for CIMA, ICAEW, ICWA, and ICAI. etc.
    why is it so that is IMA not recognized very well?

    Hello, are you speaking in terms of certification? Many job listings will list CMA as a qualification on their job listing. Thank you.

    In my case, this is referring to job portals like LinkedIn where IMA logo won't appear if we selected IMA under the education section (see screenshot below).

    The point I raised is that whenever and wherever I filled my education details on the career page of any co. there is always a list of institutes and universities and if in any case, you don't find your institution you need to select the option "others" and then fill manually in the name of our institute.
    The thing is most of the time I found that the career pages of co. are well synced. with other institutions like "ICAEW", "ACCA" "And ICAI" etc but it's not the same case with "IMA".
    and why is it so?
    sadly for me, this has raised doubt about global recognition of "IMA".

    Hello, IMA is not a college or university, but if someone passes the CMA or CSCA exams, they are able to claim their digital badge(s). This will appear under licenses and certifications. I hope this makes sense. Thank you.

    Hi Christine, I am trying to make sense of your answer as professional associations like CIMA, ACCA, IIA and CMI are not college/university as well but if you refer back to the screenshot that I shared previously, which has the IIA logo available on the education section. And back to the point that someone had raised earlier, yes, IMA wasn't available in the dropdown list on some of the hiring portals. It's not a big issue but perhaps it's something worthwhile to look into for the brand name of IMA.

    Hi,

    I totally agree with Yee Jea Fong, the issue I am raising is the name of not available in the drop-down on any career page whether it is a company website or social media portal.

    For more clarity i"m quoting Yee with highlighting in yellow the subject matter of my question.
