The importance of writing professional exams cannot be over emphasized in a highly competitive job market. It is an industry requirement one must identify with in order to open newer avenues and to ensure steady growth in one’s career.

Individuals with higher credentials are always well-regarded in the corporate domain as certifications hold great value.

Obtaining certifications in a certain area exhibits your proficiency in that particular field and ensures faster career progression and higher returns.

They improve the market value of a professional thus increasing their visibility for recruiters.
Higher qualification and credentials mean more job security.

Thanks a lot for this thread. Quite informative.

What would you advise someone wishing to acquire any of these qualifications, but who has no experience in any of these fields and has been practising in another field for a long time?

What do you also think about the CIMA certification for someone who has never done anything accounting-related before?

Thanks!
