CIMA Fast Track Courses

Accelerated courses for highly motivated students

On average, it takes around three years to complete all the CIMA exams. That’s a serious time investment!

But what if you could fast-track the process?

Our Fast Track courses are built for motivated students who want to complete an entire level – three objective tests and the case study exam – in just six months.

With help from your course mentor, you’ll develop a study schedule that works for you, designed to keep you focused and speed up your progression from day one. You’ll have weekly targets, regular progress check-ins and dedicated guidance to ensure you stay on track! No time wasted, no wondering what to do next – just consistent, focused study designed to get you exam ready.

Why take three years when you could be qualified in a fraction of the time? If you’re ready to accelerate your CIMA journey, our Fast Track courses are here to make it happen.

“I moved over to Astranti from another large, well-known tuition provider during the management level of my CIMA exams and couldn’t have been happier with my decision. I am not the most academically gifted student but Astranti’s materials and videos are excellent at explaining complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand.

They have a fantastic support network of mentors and tutors who helped me confidently navigate the more challenging exams and regularly checked in with me to see how I was doing.

I was able to achieve first-time passes in both the MCS and SCS exams (with really good scores!), which I am certain was due to their excellent course. Thanks to Astranti, I can now call myself a Chartered Accountant and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality tuition provider.”

Is the Fast Track route right for you?

The Fast Track course isn’t for everyone – but if you’re reading this, you might just be the perfect fit. Here’s how to know if this route aligns with your goals:

1. Are you highly motivated?
These courses are designed for students who are eager to progress quickly, but motivation is key. You need to be ready to tackle a challenging, intensive study plan – week in, week out – knowing that your hard work will pay off in 6 months.

2. Do you have time to commit?
The Fast Track programme requires consistent, focused effort. You’ll need the time to dedicate to regular study sessions, revision, and exams. If you’re balancing a busy schedule, are you ready to make studying a priority?

3. Are you willing to go all in?
This is about doing whatever it takes to pass the exams. Whether it’s setting aside evenings for study, sticking to deadlines, or pushing through tough moments, you’ll need a “no excuses” mindset to stay on track.

If you’re nodding along, then our CIMA Fast Track courses could be exactly what you need to fast-track your career. But if you feel unsure or are looking for a less demanding pace, this may not be the right fit.

At the end of the day, these courses are for those who are ready to put in the work and achieve results in record time. If you’re prepared to stay focused, push forward, and rise to the challenge, the Fast Track route will set you up for success.

Need more time? We’ve got you covered

If you reach the end of the 6-month course and need a little more time, our monthly rolling add-on ensures you’re supported until you finish. You’ll have continued access to all course materials, expert guidance, and resources to keep you progressing.

That said, our structured plan is designed to keep you focused and on track, with regular check-ins to help you stay motivated and hit your target. Staying within the 6-month timeframe helps maintain momentum and ensures you qualify quickly, but if life happens, we’re here to help you finish without stress.

Stay committed, and you’ll be across the finish line in no time. And if you need more time, we’ve made sure it’s there when you need it.

Monthly rolling add-on details

Our Fast Track courses are scheduled to align with the first of the two case study exam sittings that share the same pre-seen. This means that if you happen to need more time or don’t pass on your first attempt, you won’t have to learn an entirely new pre-seen. You’ll have the opportunity to retake the exam with the same material, giving you added confidence and reducing the stress of starting from scratch.

If you need extra time beyond the initial 6-month course period, simply purchase our monthly rolling add-on. This ensures continued access to all course materials, expert support, and resources to help you prepare for the next exam sitting, without the need to re-purchase the full course.

This approach gives you peace of mind, knowing that the safety net is in place if you need it, while still encouraging you to stay on track and complete the course in 6 months.
