    Hi all good day,

    I have not searched this thread for a similar post. I have passed the CMA test and am interested in studying for the CSCA. How long does it take to prepare if using the "IMA Strategy & Competitive analysis learning series" course provided by IMA?

    Hello,

    40 to 75 hours of study is suggested, depending on your level of expertise.

    Good luck!

    Hi Morgan,

    Thanks for sharing the insights. I am a Chartered accountant from India and part of Finance team for a Swiss Company. I assume that minimum of 40 hrs is required.

    Could you please help me to know from where to start the study, while i have downloaded the guidance. Should HBR top 10 on Strategy's is good to start with.
