A CMA Diploma may lead to a career working within the health, sports and leisure industry at clubs, cruise ships and spas, doctor's surgeries or even hospitals at home or abroad. The CMA is recognised worldwide in most countries, however, it is the responsibility of the student to check with the licensing department of the individual country that they wish to work in. Students may need to  upgrade their qulaifications to practice in some countries.
