Course FAQs
Less than you might think. As always, VIVA aims to offer best-in-class CIMA tuition at a price that traditional tuition providers cannot match.
While other tuition providers offer courses with similar features from £799 to £1,500, VIVA's Elite Course costs just £499. And there’s no compromise on quality - attested to by VIVA’s track record of prizewinning students and award-winning courses (CIMA Global Pass Rate Excellence Award 2020)
We try to make it as easy as possible for students, as we know the CIMA journey can be a costly one. Here’s how our Elite payment plan works:
- Pay a small one-time deposit of just £99 to secure your place and start studying
- One month later, you’ll be notified to pay the first £100 instalment
- In two months, you’ll be sent the second payment link of £100
- And so on until you have covered the remainder of £400
With the standard course, you cannot avail of the six 2-hour-long live workshop sessions with your tutor; the private Elite student study group (hosted by Circle and moderated by your tutor); the personalised mock marking for all 3 mock exams; nor the private officer hours with your tutor. The Elite course unlocks all of this additional, personalised content to maximise your chances of passing first time.
Just email us at info@vivatuition.com and one of our student support staff will be happy to explain everything to you.
