Accredited Educational Programs | Canadian Institute of Management (CIM)

Coming Together To Achieve The Extraordinary

The Canadian Institute of Management has initiated a comprehensive National Accreditation process that will assess entire full-time programs and grant exemption from the academic requirements leading to the Certified in Management (C.I.M.) professional designation. Students graduating from a CIM Nationally Accredited program will have met all the requirements for the C.I.M. designation once they have completed two years of managerial work experience and made appropriate application to the Canadian Institute of Management. The two years of managerial work experience must be completed within six years of graduation from a CIM-Accredited program and may include experience obtained before and during their course of studies; as long as the experience is at the supervisory or management level.
With this streamlined process students will not have to match courses one-by-one for the qualification and will know that the program that have started will ultimately lead to the C.I.M. professional designation; adding significant value to the program from the first day of class. Through the completion of an additional five years of managerial work experience after the C.I.M. designation has been obtained, application for the designation of Professional Manager (P.Mgr.) can be made. Both of these protected professional designations are very well regarded in the business community with designation holders in every Province across Canada.
As professional designations, persons holding the C.I.M. and P.Mgr. post-nominal designations are required to maintain their membership in good standing with the Canadian Institute of Management and adhere to a Professional Code of Ethics
