HOSPA is the leading professional body in the UK for finance specialists within the hospitality sector
The HOSPA Professional Development Programmes in Financial Management provide you with all you need to develop your career in business and finance in the hospitality sector.
​
Developed by senior finance professionals in partnership with learning experts, our courses provide practical skills and technical knowledge specific to the hospitality industry. The content is regularly updated and represents best practices in the sector.
​
All learners who complete the three courses of the HOSPA Professional Development Programme in Hospitality Financial Management receive exemptions with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
Exemptions cover all four exams from the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting (Cert BA), which is CIMA’s entry-level qualification and can be taken as a standalone qualification. If learners would like to achieve the CIMA Cert BA they are able to decline one of the four exemptions received and pass that one exam. Upon completion of the one objective test exam, the learner will receive the Certificate in Business Accounting as well as gain the designatory letters CIMA CertBA.
Or for those learners looking for a route to becoming a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), exemptions can be used for the first level of CIMA and start CIMA at the Professional Qualification, bypassing the Cert BA.

"The structure was very well balanced between theory and practical application. It provided me with tools I could immediately use in my role, particularly in budgeting and financial analysis. The programme has had a direct impact on my work, especially in areas like of improving month-end reporting. Since the course was tailored to hospitality, it gave me practical examples that I could apply daily. I can see that my understanding expanded and I became more efficient in leading financial tasks and got a more detailed analysis on reports. "
