thanx machangsla for all the info.. my bro is doin A/L this time so just wanna check the prices before asking him to apply for a course. btw CIMA has a wider scope than CIM also the fees are way more high than CIM, CIM probably u can complete the 3 stages for less than 300k, just go through all the vacancies in topjobs.. ull c for each n every advert there is a part of CIM or CIMA as a requirement.. all the local business degrees are now losing its sheen without a supporting professional qualification as cim or cima.
also the cost of education is rising every year.. evey day..I did the Colombo MBA last year & it cost abt 415K, but i heard frm next year its gonna be aby 700K, sad scene but thats the bitter truth.
well my advice to all my friends here is... dnt go after pointless unfamous diplomas..Hnd's n all... if u do not have a degree just try to get a professional qualification as CIM or CIMA, then work somewhere for few years & go for a Masters or CFA.. every field has a business aspect in it, there were Medical doctors who did the MBA, so thats the current market's requrement.. make urself an asset for the market's demand & there will be a world of opperunities..
