The course duration usually is 4 months (one semester’s duration) although this duration is flexible (3 to 6 months) and depends on the enrolment date in a subject.

The exams are taken in a mutually agreed exam period between WITS and the student. For CMA and GMA subjects the usual exam period is May or November, and it will cost more for ICMA students wishing to sit for exams outside these scheduled times.

ICMA expects an exam to be taken within one-year of commencing a subject.

The maximum number of subjects you will be permitted to undertake for any WITS program (including the ICMA programs) is 4 subjects per semester.

You may wish to avail yourself of an academic mentor from the Global Business School. This will cost you $800 per subject (plus GST for Australian students), and your questions will be answered on a weekly basis by the mentor for up to 4 months from registration.

Due to privacy requirements, the Global Business School does not link up students with others doing the program. The course is one of independent study only. If networking and joint study is preferred, then we would advise you to join one of the many face-to-face seminars offering the MBA, CMA and GMA programs from around the world.

The mentor would be an individual who is conveniently accessible via the internet; having a qualification equivalent to or beyond the one you are seeking in the same or a related field.

All communication will be via email and discussion boards.
