On average, you'll be studying for between 50 and 70 hours for each paper. You'll be required to grasp a variety of topics including financial regulations, derivatives, statistics and accounting. Our study packages are designed to suit your learning style and availability. We offer a range of classroom courses, depending on your prior knowledge, or a virtual learning course.
Whichever you choose, you will have to study independently in order to pass. All our IMC training includes access to our online portal as part of the package. The portal is your one-stop resource centre providing study tools and question banks, plus it contains our diagnostic performance analysis tools to help keep you on track and alert you to your areas of weakness. We'll let you know where you need to focus your attention, so you can maximise your study time concentrating on what matters.
