CPD hours vary by course. Typically they range from 1 to 2 hours per podcast and 3 to 9 hours for an in-depth, multi-episode learning path. Each course listing clearly displays the hours you'll earn on completion. All hours are earned once you listen to the podcast episode in full and pass the chapter quizzes.
Management accountants sit closest to the decisions: budgets, forecasts, pricing, cost analysis, working capital and the KPIs the board actually reads. The tools change quickly, from Power BI and AI-assisted forecasting to new financial planning methods, and so does the expectation that finance acts as a business partner rather than a scorekeeper. Structured, verifiable CPD keeps your managerial accounting skills sharp and supports career progression into senior finance roles.
CPD is mandatory for all CIMA members and is outcome-based. CIMA does not prescribe hours or CPD points, so there is no points target to hit; instead you follow the CIMA CPD cycle each year, keep records of your CPD activities and may be selected for monitoring. Submitting the annual declaration is a membership requirement. LumiQ episodes slot into that cycle as CIMA CPD courses you can evidence with a certificate for each one.
Other professional bodies set their own rules:
ICAEW: Total annual CPD hours depend on your CPD category (from 20 hours with 10 verifiable up to 40 hours with 30 verifiable), plus a mandatory minimum of 1 verifiable hour of ethics CPD every year.
ACCA: The standard route is 40 units of CPD per year (1 unit = 1 hour), of which at least 21 units must be verifiable.
AAT: CPD is mandatory for affiliate and professional members and is measured by outcomes rather than a set number of hours; members plan, record and review learning against the AAT CPD cycle.
No. LumiQ is a CPD provider, not an awarding body, and its courses are not regulated qualifications. They are designed for qualified and part-qualified professionals who need relevant, verifiable CPD after the exams are done. UK professional bodies do not require CPD to come from a CPD-accredited course or a CPD certified provider; they require learning you can evidence, which is what your certificate of completion gives you.
The following topics are covered:
Budgeting and forecasting
Cash flow and working capital
Cost analysis and pricing
Financial planning and analysis
Risk management and financial governance
Business partnering and influencing
Data analytics with Power BI
Leadership skills for senior finance roles
