For those who are new and wondering,

What is US-CMA course that we keep referring to?

• Well, the US-CMA course is administered by IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants®), US.
• It is the most prestigious certification program in Management Accounting.
• This certification not only enhances career prospects by opening doors to advanced managerial roles but also, results in higher salaries.
• What truly sets CMAs apart is their ability to explain the why behind the numbers and not just the what?
• After completing the US CMA course, learners gain proficiency in extracting insights from extensive data sets, strengthening forecasting capabilities and shaping future business strategies.

Before we deep dive, it is important to note that whether you choose classroom training or live virtual online training, the end goal for most would remain the same. That is, to complete the US-CMA course successfully by passing with flying colours and getting placed at a good multinational company.

We, at EduPristine, completely understand this goal and strive to support our learners by offering both modes of learning because we strongly believe that no one format is the answer but an equal blend of both may be the most optimum solution for your needs. Don’t we all have our own likes, dislikes, comforts, and preferences? We hope that by the end of this blog, you’re in a better position to decide for yourself based on your learning needs and preferences.

Our rich experience says no one size fits all. Some of the learners like to study individually, whereas some like to study in groups. Some prefer to study in a classroom setting, while some like to study from the comfort of their home. Some demand a synchronous mode of learning, while others insist on having an asynchronous delivery. To cater to such multiple needs, we, as an institute, take pride in offering flexible options to all our students with a direct focus on improving the learning outcomes that could, in turn, attract thrilling job opportunities and thus assure a good quality of life.

Are there any factors that remain constant in both modes of learning?

You are correct, certain factors would remain constant in both modes of learning.

These factors include the following :

• Study resources: At EduPristine, we offer study materials from Becker. Becker is one of the few IMA approved CMA program content provider. Becker is a US headquartered content provider for the last over 60+years with over 1+ million candidates having prepared using the Becker content, with over 96%+ satisfaction rating. Isn’t it amazing?
• CMA course syllabus: The course of study remains the same in both modes of training.
• Instructors: The instructors at Edupristine are all CMA qualified, with an average of 15+ years of corporate experience, with teaching experience with Edupristine of 5-10 years striving to create interactive learning environments in both modes of training.
• Other factors like discipline, teaching methodology and engagement remain the same.

So, what changes? Excited to find out?

What are the major changes in Classroom Training Program for US CMA COURSE.

1) Improved Focus and Attention:

• Don’t we all agree on the fact that high concentration can lead to better results, and in turn help us achieve our end goal?Do you remember the goal that we spoke about earlier in the blog?
• EduPristine provides a structured and distraction-less environment requiring all the learners to assemble at a pre-determined time and demands full attention during that time without being diverted.
• Creating a similar learning environment at home may not always be feasible because of external factors beyond our control. Factors such as vehicles constantly honking, dogs barking, kids playing, etc.
• This can hamper the study schedule entirely forcing learners to leave midway or focus only moderately.
• Such disturbances not only lead to a failed attempt at studying but also lead to a waste of time and effort.
• By studying in a classroom setting, learners can also reduce constant exposure to digital screens leading to strain and discomfort, allowing them to concentrate better on discussions. This is a common challenge faced by those who study virtually for extended time.

2) Peer Learning and Networking:

• One of the biggest perks of a physical classroom set-up is the opportunity to directly engage and interact with peers alike.
• Participating in group discussions and collaborating on assignments not only provides a unique opportunity for learners to learn from each other but also builds a professional network.
• These personal interactions can be extremely valuable for personal development, and future career opportunities.
• For example: participating in group discussions can lead to a thorough understanding of strategic management practices.

3) Enhanced Motivation:

• In connection with the above point: direct communication with peers enhances motivation, encouraging learners to stay committed to their studies. Seeing their peers work hard can inspire learners to put in their best effort as well.
• Classmates often become study partners and friends, offering the necessary emotional and academic support.
• It can be challenging for learners to keep pace with other learners in a virtual set-up since the interaction is limited. Moreover, one may lack the self-motivation to do so, which can have a serious impact on the learning outcomes.
• Additionally, studying individually in a virtual set-up poses more challenges as isolation can induce high levels of stress, anxiety, and a sense of disconnectedness from peers.

4) Personalized Attention:

• Increased flexibility creates added pressure on students to judge their own progress and make good choices. Not everyone may have the capacity to make good judgements about their progress and act wisely on those judgements.
• Technical difficulties can add another layer of difficulty to the situation. Personalized attention in a virtual set-up may not always be possible because of factors such as poor internet connection, software compatibility issues, power shortages, and other similar issues.
• Some learners may also shy away from switching on their cameras, making it more challenging for instructors to gauge their understanding of concepts.
• The classroom set-up provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for instructors to observe each learner closely and alter the pace of teaching accordingly. The smaller the batch size, the better the personal attention each student receives.

5) Additional Support:

• Self-regulated learning is a major challenge when it comes to studying virtually. First, the students may not recognize when they need help, and second, they may not know where to get help from or feel awkward about requesting virtual help.
• It is most likely that learners may encounter certain obstacles during their learning journey and may require additional assistance and support. Waiting 15-20 minutes extra after a class can solve this problem almost instantly.
• Additionally learners can also get their doubts and queries resolved immediately which is crucial for mastering vital topics covered in the US CMA course syllabus.
• The availability of a faculty member in person to explain complex topics like cost management and internal controls can be indispensable.
