Our friendly writing and presentation style makes it easy for you to make a start on your CIMA qualification with terminology introduced in a simple, understandable way that is focused on what you need to learn for the exam.

And best of all, our full certificate courses are completely free!

Why free?

Well, our hope is that you’ll love the materials so much that you’ll continue your studies with us for the remainder of your qualification. It’s as simple as that! After all, they’re the same great resources that we use for all our objective test courses, from operational to strategic level.

You can access the certificate course materials immediately after you create your free account, via our online student studyHub, so why not get started right away?

“Brilliant study material. I used Astranti throughout, sucked in by their free products at certificate level and I’m glad I was! The material provided is brilliant and the course tutors know exactly what it takes to get the pass at the case studies, if you use them and put the hours in you will pass!
Couldn’t recommend enough, and achieved first time passes in all professional exams.”

“Truly Excellent. I passed all 16 CIMA examinations first time – with the excellent material from Astranti helping me prepare for those examinations.
Many thanks for the support – the material (videos and printed material – including mock exams etc) was invaluable.”

Using the well constructed courses, learning materials and study planner, I was able to study effectively and pass the BA1 exam. I look forward to using Astranti to complete the rest of my exams.”

How our free courses compare

When the 2017 CIMA certificate syllabus was introduced we decided to do something drastic! 

Instead of updating the original certificate materials that we had and then charging the same prices as we always have done, we thought we’d do things a little differently.

We decided to step away from the norm and instead offer all of our new CIMA certificate materials and courses to students absolutely free of charge. Why? Well we hope that you will like the materials so much, that you will then choose to stick with us throughout the remainder of your CIMA exams.

What our students say

Please see our testimonials page for our latest student reviews. Here are a couple of examples:

“I started my CIMA journey with Astranti using the tuition videos, revision notes, practice questions, mock exams and other materials including the casestudy analysis pack, I have been able to complete 9 OT exams and 3 Casestudies in 8 months! I cannot recommend the materials enough. The on demand setup allows each student to work at their own pace and also has a structure for those looking to complete this in that way. Thank you Astranti!!”

“Honestly, Astranti has helped me clear all my papers in the first attempt since the day I decided to purchase the notes and kits. They provide notes and corresponding practice questions per topic. The practice questions come with detailed answers, which help as you go through the syllabus and not have you spend time on the notes before your exam. Thanks to Astranti!! It’s all I’ve been looking for and I have made up my mind to stick to it till I finish my course.”

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE FLP ROUTE?

CIMA’s CGMA Finance Leadership Programme offers a route to CIMA qualification that contains no objective test exams, and it now contains a new ‘Foundational’ level.

This new level is the FLP equivalent of the Certificate level exams, meaning anyone can now join the FLP route, without needing to pass the four Certificate level exams first.

If you join FLP with Astranti, then you’ll now get access to our Foundational level library content, as well as all the regular FLP learning materials, case study courses and support that we have to offer.
