Follow a clear, step-by-step study plan that takes you from preseen understanding to exam-day confidence. Each week builds on the last so you develop a strong grasp of the case study, the key P1/F1/E1 concepts, and exam techniques that maximise your marks.
In the first two weeks, you’ll lay the foundation for your case-study preparation. This stage builds a strong grasp of the exam format, your role as a candidate, and the business environment of the preseen company.
By the end of Week 2, you’ll have a clear understanding of the company, its environment, and likely exam issues—setting the stage for deeper analysis in the coming weeks.

This stage focuses on identifying the most likely issues for your exam, improving exam technique, and putting your knowledge into practice with mock exams.
This final week is all about final preparations, last-minute strategies, and building confidence for exam day.

I started the Ultimate Package four weeks into my prep, feeling behind. But the structure, feedback, and personal support turned things around fast.
After my first mock, I got detailed feedback within a day. In a 1:1 session, Neesha walked me through it and explained exactly what examiners look for – everything suddenly made sense.
By my second mock, I could already see real improvement. Neesha didn’t just correct me – she helped me build exam confidence.
On exam day, I actually felt good. I’m still waiting for my results, but for the first time, I truly believe I passed. The Ultimate Package is worth every penny!
Everything you need to know about our packages, tutor support, and how to get started with your CIMA OCS preparation.
The Ultimate Package includes personalised 1:1 tutor support, 3 online lessons, 7 full mocks with feedback, a structured study plan, preseen analysis, and more. It’s designed to give you everything you need to succeed in the CIMA OCS exam.

Absolutely! Our tutors provide detailed, actionable feedback to help you understand what examiners expect and how to maximise your score.

Yes! All paid packages include multiple mocks: Essential comes with 3, Advanced comes with 5, Master with 6 and the Ultimate Package comes with 7 full mocks. There is also marking included.
You’ll get instant access to core study materials as soon as you purchase. However, the timing of pre-seen-related content depends on your exam sitting.
CIMA releases each pre-seen around 7 weeks before the exam. We only create and release our pre-seen materials after that point — so if you’re preparing for a future sitting, you’ll get access to theory revision content straight away, and your pre-seen materials will be added when CIMA makes the pre-seen available.
In the case of second sittings (when CIMA reuses the same pre-seen), we release pre-seen materials shortly after the first exam window ends — to ensure fairness for all students across sittings.
Every one of our course packages comes with a Pass Assurance, as we are confident that our proven system will set you up for success.
If you don’t pass the CIMA OCS exam, we will work with you to help you prepare for your next attempt. Our Pass Assurance ensures that you can continue using the resources and support until you succeed – provided you meet the following conditions:
We’re here to support you every step of the way, and our team is committed to helping you achieve your goals.
Once you sign up with PTA as a paid customer, your journey is completely secure and risk-free with us. Our Pass Assurance ensures that if you complete 70% of your package and sit the exam but don’t pass, we’ll continue supporting you until you succeed.
In case our package doesn’t meet your expectations, you’re protected by our 7-day money-back guarantee. Simply contact our team, and they’ll process your refund immediately. It’s that simple.
With PTA, you’re in safe hands every step of the way.
