==Qualification==

Although there are no formal qualification criteria, project controllers usually have graduate level training in project management or finance such as [[master of science in finance|MSF]] or [[MBA]] degrees, or are [[qualified accountant]]s (i.e. CIMA, CCA, ACCA, CGA, [[Certified Management Accountant|CMA]], or CA designation). "Industry experience" is often a pre-requisite and so controllers often have undergraduate degrees in related fields. Also, many analysts originally enter this ___domain through their practice as consultants or accountants and so a very wide range of qualifications is common.<ref>{{cite web|url= https[http://fieldservicesoftwareusjobs.iodeloitte.com/pathwaysjobs/306827-toConsulting-projectProject-controlController-essentialProject-qualificationsFinancial-and-experience/|title= PathwaysAnalyst.aspx toDeloitte Project Control: EssentialController Qualifications]{{dead andlink|date=April 2018 Experience|bot=InternetArchiveBot website|fix-attempted= fieldservicesoftware.ioyes }} Deloitte November 8, 2010.</ref>

In some firms, it is (additionally) preferred that analysts earn a professional certification such as the [[Chartered Institute of Management Accountants]] (CIMA) [[Chartered Financial Analyst]] (CFA) designation, or the [[Certified International Investment Analyst]] (CIIA) designation. However, professional designation is rarely a requirement, and many have reached the peak of the profession without ever sitting for the CFA or the CIIA exam.
