What will happen if you don't finish your grades in follow-up education?
Continuing education (CPE) requires candidates to complete 30 hours of study every year. Counting from 1 June 1 After completing two exams. The period between successful completion of two exams and subsequent 1 and 1 is a grace period. There is no requirement for continuing education during this period, but any continuing education hours obtained during this period can be included in the first reporting period. CMA holders or candidates who have completed CMA exams have completed more than 30 hours of continuing education in one year, which can be carried over to the next year 10 hour at most.
IMA's time requirement for CMA candidates to complete follow-up education;
1. If CMA certification body fails to pay IMA fee, its certification qualification will be invalid. CMA must pay the current fee before its certification status can take effect. CMA will remain invalid until the fee is paid, and the candidate will no longer be regarded as a certified management accountant (CMA).
2. If the specified CPE hours are not completed, the CMA/CFM will be considered illegal, the certificate will be in an invalid state, and the CMA certificate cannot be used. To return to the valid certification status, CMA should complete at least 60 qualified cumulative continuing education hours before the end of the next calendar year (that is, 30 hours in the current calendar year plus unfinished hours in the previous calendar year).
3. If CMA holders fail to meet the requirements in a specific year, they need to make up for it in the next year. If you get 25 hours in one year, you must get 35 hours in the next year. This is limited to two years and cannot enter the third year.
If the missing hours are not filled in the next calendar year, CMA certification will be invalid, and 60 hours of continuing education will be completed in one calendar year before it can be restored to effective status.
4. Candidates who have passed two subjects of CMA but have not yet obtained certificates shall complete CMA follow-up education in accordance with the regulations and maintain the validity of their membership. After successfully obtaining the certificate, candidates still need to complete continuing education to maintain the validity of membership.

First, listen to the class. Because CMA exam has many contents and trivial knowledge points, even self-taught students are advised to study through online courses. In terms of time and efficiency, the review effect of online courses is better than reading textbooks by yourself. After class, combine the courseware and the summary materials of the reading materials, grasp the important and difficult points of the teaching materials more accurately, read the teaching materials in a targeted way, and grasp the contents of the teaching materials. Take notes in class in time, write down useful ideas or key points, and it is best to mark the textbook, so that when browsing the textbook, you can focus on reading the marked content.
2. Integrate what you have learned.
When preparing for the exam, you can gather all the knowledge points you have learned, build a framework in your mind, and connect the knowledge points in series.
Step 3 exercise
When doing problems, we should pay attention to recording our own mistakes and improve and perfect our own methods of doing problems. Try not to turn over the books to read the knowledge points when you do the questions, put yourself in the atmosphere of the simulated examination room, and then check the answers after you finish.
