Business Wire
VCampus Corporation (OTCBB:VCMP.OB), a leader in certification and
professional development training and services, and the Institute
of Management Accountants (IMA�) today announced the launch of
IMA�s Professional Learning Center (PLC). The IMA PLC, available at
www.imanet.org/PLC, will bring together a variety of online
certification-preparation options for professionals studying for
the Certified Management Accountant (CMA�) exam, as well as
continuing education self-study resources for professionals looking
to expand their skills and career. The CMA designation, held by
nearly 20,000 professionals worldwide, provides an objective
measure of the accounting, financial, information management and
strategic-planning skills necessary to drive business performance
in today�s ever-changing global economy. Developed as part of the
VCampus Select Partner� Program, the IMA PLC will offer a
comprehensive suite of CMA certification- prep tools in one
convenient online portal. The new and improved tools include the
CMA Online Assessment, which helps those interested in the CMA
program assess their readiness and study needs; the CMA Learning
System Version 2.0, a comprehensive prep program that includes
print books and online practice test tools; and the new CMA Online
Intensive Review course, which provides dynamic multimedia content
reviewing all key terms and calculations with the help of a CMA
course guide. The CMA Learning System Version 2.0 program is also
offered as instructor-led courses through a network of more than 40
international IMA-approved providers, including 25 U.S. colleges
and universities. The CMA Learning System Version 2.0 was launched
on June 1, 2007, and the CMA Online Assessment and the CMA Online
Intensive Review are slated for release in late July. �IMA is
dedicated to the professional development of today�s management
accounting and finance professionals. Our members are leaders in
their field and demand the highest quality educational
opportunities and experiences,� said Paul A. Sharman, ACMA, IMA
president and CEO. �We were impressed with VCampus� extensive
experience working with other professional certifying organizations
and are delighted to be partnering with them to build a world-class
online educational program.� In preparation for the launch, VCampus
successfully ported more than 10,000 existing IMA learners to the
new PLC to ensure an uninterrupted learning experience. In addition
to certification prep, the IMA PLC also offers a catalog of
subscription-based online packages designed to help fulfill annual
continuing professional education requirements for CMA members. IMA
and VCampus have exciting plans to introduce new continuing
education Learning Community programs in fields such as Governance,
Risk and Compliance later this year. The Learning Community
programs will allow users to engage with their peers on timely
issues in finance and accounting. The launch of the IMA PLC and its
comprehensive online certification prep and professional
development options underscores VCampus� commitment to empowering
people globally through certification and professional development.
�IMA�s 2006 Salary Study shows that a CMA-certified professional
earns approximately 27 percent more than a professional with no
certification. It is clear that achieving and maintaining
professional certification not only provides value to an employer,
but also provides greater career opportunities and earning
potential to the employee,� said Nat Kannan, president and CEO of
VCampus. �VCampus is dedicated to transforming the certification
