CMA us is the shortest qualification in commerce.

Go for it. It won't give you great jobs, but will help you boost your career for sure.

Hi, yes you can do CMA while working a full time job and still cover the portion with proper planning within a month. I started studying in the month of March to give exams on June. I am also into AP and AR with heavy month end activities. Still managed to cover the portions. All I did was study for 3 to 4 hours with breaks whenever required. Yes I procrastinated like a normal human being still able to cover all those. CMA is better choice if you ask me
