is it worth paying for my own CIMA course at an open university or london school of business and finance? struggling to get a grad scheme to take interest in me after graduating uni with a 2.2 maths degree. course fees are about £1200-2000 which with all the current uni fee situation seems quite decent. as you pass your exams and study, you can apply to trainee jobs and get experience but is it worth taking that initial risk of doing the course myself first??

currently work in the railway as a PA so need to start something more challenging..... any advice people????
