IMA? (Institute of Management Accountants) members have a new learning opportunity to sharpen their strategy and competitive analysis skills. Effective October 1, members can purchase the IMA Strategy and Competitive Analysis Learning Series? separately, without having to enroll in the CSCA? (Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis) program.

The Learning Series consists of five engaging online courses, each covering critical strategic management concepts from the CSCA Content Specification Outline. Subscribers can earn up to 21 NASBA CPE credits by successfully completing all five courses.

Deborah Warner, CAE, CPLP, IMA vice president of education and career services, said, ?We are pleased to now offer the Learning Series to CMAs ? and all IMA members ? to expand their strategic management skills while also being awarded CPE credits. We hope all IMA members will take advantage of this new opportunity to access this excellent professional development resource. Moreover, we also encourage CMAs to earn their CSCA credential to certify their mastery of this subject.?

As an added benefit, IMA is also offering an extra incentive to CMAs who purchase the CSCA Entrance Fee, CSCA Exam Registration Fee, and Learning Series in the same transaction: Save $75 with promo code CSCABUY3 at checkout.

The next CSCA testing window is in March 2019. Registration information can be found on the IMA website at https://www.imanet.org/csca-credential. Information on purchasing the CSCA Learning Series separately from CSCA exam registration can be found in the IMA course catalog.
