Who Are We?
The University of Johannesburg (UJ) offered a CIMA preparation course for a number of years on an informal basis for UJ Honours graduates wanting to study towards the much sought after CMA designation (offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), based in London, UK).
Due to the rising demand for quality CIMA tuition in Gauteng and continuity in quality service provision, FAT Training CC was formed in 2007. All the FAT Training lecturers are either Associate Chartered Management Accountants (ACMAs) and Chartered Global Management Accountants (CGMAs) or part-qualified CIMA members having passed all the CIMA exams.
Since its formation, FAT Training CC has been the preferred CIMA strategic level (and previously T4 Part B case study) tuition provider for students that completed their B.Com Honours (Financial Management) degree at UJ.
The members are committed to the success of each and every course and customer satisfaction is of paramount importance.
FAT Training offers both current and prospective students the following:
- Global Learning Premium Partner – FAT Training is a CIMA Global Learning Premium Partner (the highest level of CIMA accreditation awarded to tuition providers). In addition, all lecturers on the courses offered, have written and passed the relevant CIMA exams;
- Flexibility and adaptability – Most of our classes are conducted on Saturdays, so your studies won’t interfere with your work commitments. In addition, FAT Training does not offer its objective test courses concurrently allowing students even more flexibility by focusing and studying for one strategic level subject at a time;
- Focus and specialisation – FAT Training focuses on CIMA tuition and we specialise in the strategic level objective tests as well as the management and strategic level integrated case study exams;
- First class facilities and secure parking – All our classes are conducted at the University of Johannesburg’s Kingsway Campus in Auckland Park. Secure, convenient parking is available for FAT Training students; and
- Non-cancellation – FAT Training has not cancelled a single course since its inception in 2007 and guarantees that it will not cancel any courses advertised in 2017.
