Course questions.
CMA (US) or CMA (India): which should I choose?
CMA (US) is a two-part exam from IMA that most students finish in 8 to 12 months, and it suits management accounting roles in multinational companies. CMA (India) from ICMAI has three levels and takes about 3 to 3.5 years, and it is strong for cost accounting, manufacturing, and public sector roles.
How long does CMA (US) take?
Most students complete both parts in 8 to 12 months. Exams are held in three windows each year: January to February, May to June, and September to October.
Who can become an Enrolled Agent?
The IRS does not ask for a degree, so students and graduates can both start. You need to pass the three-part Special Enrollment Examination, which usually takes 8 to 12 months of preparation.
Who can take the CIA exam?
CIA is meant for degree holders and final-year students. B.Com and BBA students can start preparing while they finish their degree.
Can I do a degree along with a professional course?
Yes. ISLA supports the B.Com and M.Com distance programme of Pondicherry University, which you can study alongside CMA, EA or CIA.
Are ISLA ProHub classes available online?
Yes. Every professional course is taught both online and offline, so you can join from anywhere in Kerala or abroad.
Not sure which course fits?
A 15-minute call with a counsellor usually settles it.
