Student Success Stories

I had the opportunity to work with Berkeley Business School throughout my CIMA Strategic Case Study preparation. Well structured lectures, to the point materials materials, and the knowledgeable tutors were the key drivers in my success in the SCS exam. The guidance, clarifications and flexibility provided by the instructors made it possible to manage business, personal life priorities together with the preparations. Also the training was very well balancing instructor led sessions and in person study based on your time availability. The mock exams and constant constructive feedback right after each one significantly strengthened both my exam preparation but also my ability to apply strategic thinking. My preparation with Berkeley, played a key role in helping me to stay disciplined and ultimately pass the exam. Special thanks to Mr. Sadiq, Dr. Musa and Mr. Imthiyas, that were always available in every step of the process. Thank you for your support, commitment and passion for your students.

I recently completed the CFO training program with the Berkeley School of Business, Arts & Sciences, which provided a structured overview of the key responsibilities and expectations of a modern CFO. The program covered a wide range of topics including financial strategy, risk management, and governance, with a clear emphasis on linking finance to overall business performance. It was particularly useful in reinforcing the importance of the CFO’s role as a strategic partner to the business rather than purely a financial steward. The content is delivered at a relatively high level, making it suitable for professionals looking to broaden their understanding of finance leadership rather than those seeking deep technical specialization.
Overall, the program is a valuable learning experience for finance professionals aiming to strengthen their strategic perspective and gain a holistic view of the CFO function.

I had the opportunity to work with Berkeley Business School across multiple subjects during my Diploma in Strategy and Leadership. They also provided logistical support throughout my FRM journey and MBA. Alhamdulillah, everything went very well. The team was always there when I needed them and demonstrated a high level of professionalism.
Special thanks to Koloued, Imtaz, and Umair for their continuous support throughout the journey; it is truly appreciated.

I had an excellent learning and training experience with the Berkeley Middle East Training - Institute, Dubai . The instructors for CMA course were highly knowledgeable and explained every concept with great clarity. The training sessions were interactive, engaging, and well-structured. I appreciated the practical approach, which helped me apply what I learned in real scenarios. The study materials were comprehensive and easy to understand. The institute’s support team was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. I also enjoyed the collaborative environment created among the learners. The hands-on projects greatly boosted my confidence and skills. Overall, the training exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend this institute to anyone looking for quality learning and professional development.

I'd like to express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional support and guidance provided throughout my CIMA Strategic Case Study preparation. The structured approach, high-quality materials, and the unwavering dedication of the tutors were instrumental in helping to achieve success in the SCS exam. The college’s flexibility, practical insights, and continuous encouragement played a crucial role in sustaining my motivation and focus during this journey. The case-based discussions, real-world applications, and constructive feedback from the tutors significantly strengthened my ability to apply strategic thinking and professional judgment skills that continue to add value in both my career and personal growth. The college’s genuine commitment to student success and personalized support is something I truly value. To Mr. Sadiq, Dr. Musa and Mr. Imthiyas, thank you once again for your professionalism and excellence. This program is certainly one I would highly recommend to professionals pursuing the CIMA qualification while managing multiple responsibilities.

I recently completed my CTP certification training with Berkeley, and I must say it was an excellent experience. My coach, Mr. Umair, was exceptional in his teaching. We had scheduled classes on weekends, and he explained each topic with real-time examples, making it easy for me to relate to the subject.

The training lasted around four months, during which I was regularly given mock tests and exercises. This consistent practice played a big role in helping me pass the tough CTP exam on my first attempt.
After a long academic gap, I was initially unsure if I could manage this course, but with the guidance and support I received, I was pleasantly surprised to see myself succeed.
I would also like to thank Mr. Musa Shaikh and Mr. Imitiaz for their continuous support throughout my preparation.

Had taken class for CIPA FAR module and was able to pass the paper in 1st attempt.
Their coaching classes are very methodological and the trainer helps in clarifying the subject with ease.
Thanks Berkeley for making a mark in my professional journey.

I had an excellent experience with Berkeley Middle East Training during my CIMA preparation. Their structured approach, knowledgeable faculty, and constant support played a key role in my success. The team was always responsive and ensured I had the right guidance at every stage. Highly recommended for anyone pursuing CIMA or other professional qualifications.

Trainer was showing full dedication and maintaining a close relationship with students in terms of monitoring and skills improvement.

I recently completed my CIMA/CGMA MCS exam with the help of Berkeley Middle East, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent training I received. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding.
The tutors were incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and always ready to offer support. They made complex topics easier to understand and provided practical insights that helped me not only pass the exam but also gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
The course materials were comprehensive, well-structured, and up-to-date, which made studying a lot more manageable. I also appreciated the interactive approach to learning, which included case studies and real-world examples that made everything more relevant and applicable.
The team at Berkeley Middle East was always available for any questions or additional support, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.
Overall, I highly recommend Berkeley Middle East to anyone looking for top-notch training. Their commitment to student success and their expertise in CIMA/CGMA training truly sets them apart.
Thank you, Berkeley Middle East, for helping me achieve this milestone!

I personally, without any hesitation, highly recommend Berkeley for anyone preparing for the CIMA Strategic Case Study (SCS) exam. Their structured approach, experienced, and exam-focused resources make a significant difference in understanding the case requirements and developing the critical thinking needed to succeed.

Berkeley’s mock exams, leaded by Professor Sadiq, detailed feedback, and support provided valuable insights into exam techniques and time management strategies. Their materials are always up-to-date and aligned with CIMA standards, which helped me feel confident and well-prepared on exam day.

Thanks for All Berkeley Professors Dr. Musa Shaikh, Prof. Sadiq and Director Khulood Sha'ban and of course without forgetting Imthiyas for his support.

I'm happy to share that I passed the CIMA Strategic Case Study exam on my first attempt!

If you're serious about passing the Strategic Case Study, Berkeley is a smart and reliable choice!

I am based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and I prepared for my CIMA Strategic Case Study (SCS) exam with Berkeley in Dubai — and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience.
Their study materials are absolutely first class, so clearly written that even the toughest topics look straightforward and achievable. An enormous thank you to Sir Musa Sheikh and Sir Sadiq, their seasoned teaching did make all the difference. Their targeted approach, especially the attention to mock exams, enabled me to concentrate on the most significant areas of the syllabus and know exactly what's needed to pass.
Alhamdulillah, I got 90 marks, and I wholeheartedly recommend Berkeley to all those who are preparing for the CIMA SCS exam.

“I highly recommend Berkeley Middle East. From day 1 up to the end of my CIMA exams, they never failed to give me the support that I needed. I have completed my SCS Exam with the help of Berkeley’s highly professional professors, Dr Musa and Mr Sadiq. Thank you so much Berkeley Middle East for supporting me throughout my CIMA journey. 😊❤️”

"I recently passed the MCS for CIMA, and I owe a big thanks to Berkeley Middle East Training in Dubai. Their course was well-structured, and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. It was a great experience that helped me achieve my goal!"

“Professional knowledge, teaching techniques, and above all, the commitment of Mr. Sadiq towards seeing his students flourish and excel totally engaging methodology. To me personally, Mr Sadiq’s approach appropriately fits the given time scale along with the breadth of the course and considering the expectations of the students. If the trainer had more time (ie the time between the exam and the result, that is the window available to cover the whole syllabus) he would have oriented more effective output from the contribution of candidates as a major hurdle with candidates is the availability of time due to their PRESENT (offices/jobs) and I dare say that there wouldn’t have been a single student falling behind. I understand that these variables are not in control of candidates nor of the Trainer,”

I highly recommend Berkeley for the Strategic Case Study CGMA exam preparation. They give you all the study materials you need for successfully passing the exam. During the classes, the faculty also give you very useful tips and tricks and train you to focus on the right aspects of the theory and the right way to leverage your practical experience so you can maximize your performance at the exam. I passed on the first attempt with a score of 87, to a significant extent due to the high quality training that Berkeley provided

Great institute I have passed from first attempt as I have took their advise and the instructor are great and the mock exam they provide look similar to the real exam , recommend everyone to try with them and you will not regret

Great and well organised and really support the students as much as they can.

“Berkeley Middle East Training is an excellent institution for accounting certifications. They ensure that all students pass their exams. The course materials and teaching methods are top-notch. The mock exams at the end of the course were particularly helpful in my success. Reviewing the mock exams live with an instructor provided a great understanding of my mistakes and motivated me to work hard.”

“Berkeley team and faculties were very supportive and dedicated to every student to achieve their goal to be a qualified CGMA and indeed, they helped me as well to achieve my career milestone to be a qualified CGMA professional. Their training is intense and practical to crack the strategic case study exam. 

“It was a wonderful experience to take the Corporate Tax Law course. Every topic was discussed in accordance with legal rules. Furthermore, I am more interested in the CT filing form and the requirements, particularly those for FZ and double transfer pricing. The study materials are a major plus.”

“The Berkeley Middle East Training school has the best study materials to help you pass the exam/certification you want to take. Their method worked for me and helped me pass my exam. Their team is very supportive and knows how to get you to the finish line. I highly recommend them.”

Berkeley School and Certified CFO were amazing experiences overall. From making friends from all over the world to learning from expert professors – this course offered a lot. And curriculum was very helpful to revise throughout the program.
