At the same time, the SAAJ started the CCMA scheme for CMA candidates who have finished Level I. Those candidates, who have completed self/learning and achievement test on ethics are eligible to be registered for the scheme to receive a variety of services and information related to investment practice and finance theory. The scheme is aimed to encourage/help registered candidates in terms of their preparing for the Level II examination and hence the CMA qualification. Those who have completed CMA Level II exam with less than three year working experience in financial industries are eligible to apply and register as CCMAs.
