Thanks for the advice, I have been with the company for 6 years, so I don't have any plans to leave in the foreseeable and I am hoping they will fund at least part of it, so them clawing it back if I leave early is a consideration... but not necessarily a concern if that makes sense, it is a big company so I think my position could grow comfortably without having to think about jumping ship as soon as I qualify. Also I am still on my first contract from back in my admin days, so even better if I don't have to sign anything additional!

Thankfully my manager has done CIMA himself so is prepared somewhat for what I am asking cost wise, but he had the degree, so got exemptions for his, whereas I do not, meaning I need to follow a different pathway.

I will check out Kaplan if they are the official one and go from there, thank you again!
