    Important information regarding Rescheduling or Cancellation of a Scheduled Appointment

    Cancelling your appointment with Prometric does not generate a refund or an automatic approved test window change. It only allows you to have the possibility to reschedule the appointment for a different date in the same testing window.

    You can cancel your appointment and reschedule it for another date within the same testing window if you cancel 72 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Prometric will charge you a $50 fee if you cancel your exam within 3 to 30 days of the scheduled appointment date.

    You can cancel your appointment and reschedule it to another date in the next testing window if you (1) first cancel your appointment with Prometric, and (2) then submit a transfer request to IMA Member Services (ima@imanet.org) no later than five days before the scheduled appointment. You will be charged a fee of $75 by ICMA, and Prometric will charge you a fee if you are rescheduling your appointment within 3 to 30 days of the appointment date. Both the ICMA and the Prometric fees cannot be waived.

    If you cancel your appointment with Prometric in less than 72 hours of your appointment, you will forfeit your exam fees with ICMA, and you will need to purchase a new registration.

    You must sit for the exam during the testing window that you registered for.

    To cancel or reschedule your appointment online, please have your confirmation number ready and visit www.prometric.com/ICMA. Or you can call 800-479-6370 if you are located in the U.S. or the Regional Registration Contact Center if you are located outside the U.S. Both options are available 24 hours, seven days a week. If you do not comply with the cancellation policy, you will be considered a “no show” and you will need to reregister with ICMA and repay the examination fee.

A comprehensive online material (which includes the webinars and presentations) also helped me clear the certification in one go. Special mention to Mr. Bhavesh Gala (our tutor), who kept providing the class with certain "tricks of the trade" to solve the questions in a logical way. I would recommend EduPristine for candidates who would be aspiring to become a CMA.

    Mihir Sawant | CMA | Mumbai

    I attended the study programme at Edupristine this year, and it has paid off in the end. CMA (US) is a rigorous course and requires intensive amount of preparation. The quality of lectures delivered at Edupristine is one main reason as to why I have cleared my exams. I was under the guidance of Anil sir. EduPristine also provides additional notes, questions, and presentations as a part of their study material which will improve your preparation. Lastly, I would conclude by saying that when I could pass the exam, I don't see a reason as to why any reader interested in CMA (US) will not be able to do it. Trust me, for it's all worth it
