Professional Management Certification & Designations
The Certified in Management (C.I.M.) designation is attained by completing a certificate, diploma or degree in management, or the 8-course Chartered Management Program (CMP) or equivalent, and the Management Aptitude Evaluation (MAE).
The Chartered Manager (C.Mgr.) is awarded to professionals with a recognized credential in management—ranging from a one-year certificate to a graduate degree—combined with progressive professional management experience as outlined in our Chartered Manager Competency Framework. Depending on the level and type of academic background, candidates may also complete the Chartered Management Program (CMP), hold the C.I.M. designation, or demonstrate equivalent training.
Holders of these prestigious designations support the ongoing development of the management profession by subscribing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and abiding by the Institute Code of Ethics.
A membership in good standing is required to maintain the validity of the designation.
