Launch of the CIMA Business Flight Simulation Certificate
The need for everyone in business to understand the economic facts of life has never been greater. With news almost every week about another bank or major company calling in the receivers, it's absolutely essential that everyone from the Boardroom to the shopfloor is clear about the crucial difference between reporting paper profits and generating hard cash.
CIMA, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, is responding to this challenge by launching a radical new educational programme called the CIMA Business Flight Simulation Certificate. It uses a revolutionary video-game like technology to cut through the jargon and deliver an intuitive understanding of how business really works within a matter of weeks. The project has been developed in collaboration with Metapraxis and the British Computer Society (BCS).
