The ICMA has announced that they will be changing the CMA Exam from a 4-part exam to a 2-part exam.

The Current 4-part Exam will be offered until December 31, 2010. Gleim will continue to provide materials for the Current 4-part Exam until it ceases to be offered by the ICMA. For more information on the Current 4-part Exam, click on the Current Candidates tab.

If you have already passed at least one part in the Current 4-part Exam, Gleim recommends that you continue in the current program and use the Gleim 14th Edition CMA Review materials.

Enrollment into the New 2-part Exam program will begin in Spring 2010, and it will be available at Prometric testing centers beginning May 1, 2010. New Learning Outcome Statements and Content Specification Outlines have been provided for the New 2-part Exam. These new guidelines will allow the CMA designation, which continues to be a career-enhancing credential valued and sought by employers, to align even more closely with the critical knowledge and skills accountants and financial professionals use every day.

Gleim has developed materials for the New 2-part Exam. If you have not passed any parts of the Current 4-part Exam, Gleim recommends that you enroll in the New 2-part Exam program and use the Gleim 15th Edition CMA Review materials.

Any candidate enrolled in the Current 4-part Exam who has not passed all four parts by December 31, 2010, will automatically be transferred to the new program. Candidates who pass only Parts 2 and 3 of the Current 4-part exam by December 31, 2010, must pass the Transition Exam by February 28, 2013, in order to receive the CMA certification.

Gleim has also developed an online course specifically for the Transition Exam. If you qualify to take the Transition Exam, purchase and study with the CMA Gleim Online T - Transition Exam course.
