CIM Traditional Distance Education Program
Upgrade Your Management Skills at Home
The Canadian Institute of Management offers a unique program of correspondence education to allow busy managers the opportunity to successfully complete courses and ultimately gain professional designation. Regardless of where you live or work in Canada, you have the opportunity to earn the highly respected C.I.M. designation through a program of distance learning. CIM offers the solution of earning designation through an independent study program for CIM members who lives outside a participating university/college centre or are unable to attend scheduled classes due to unusual work hours.
A Rich and Diversified Possibility of Challenging Course Material
Students will be awarded a 'Certificate in Management and Administration' upon completion of eight study courses (8 credits) as specified by the Institute, with a minimum grade of 60% in each course. Candidates will be eligible to apply for the C.I.M. (Certified in Management) designation once they have acquired two (2) years of management/administration experience. In order to be granted the designation, candidates will be required to submit an application, along with two letters of reference and a current resume within six (6) years of completing the prescribed studies.
Individual Courses or a Complete Certificate Program
The program is intended to provide management personnel with a practical knowledge base in various management functions. It consists of the following courses. They may be taken together as a complete "C.I.M. Certificate" program or individually to fill gaps in your previous training.

It's Never Too Late to Begin!
This program is open to all candidates who are aspiring to managerial positions.
The experience of both colleges and universities in Canada is that an acceptable facility in English language skills is important, and as such, all CIM courses are presently delivered in English, including all readings and/or assignments.
All applicants must be proficient in both oral and written language skills in English enabling them to complete assignments that are considered acceptable in the university, community college and/or business community.
Students whose first language is not English should be aware of these requirements prior to applying for the program(s)
Courses may be started at any time in the year.
Textbooks and Course Materials
Required textbooks as well as all other materials, including binders, notes, case studies, and assignments are included in the course registration fee and shipped from the National Office once the registration application is received and approved.
Course Duration and Examinations
A final examination is to be written for each course. Students are required to obtain a suitable proctor to invigilate the examination. The proctor will ensure that examination requirements are met. The course tutor must approve the choice of proctor. Possible proctors can be attorneys, teachers, chartered accountants, police officers, bank managers, or other professionals.
Candidates can work within their own time frame. A duration of 6 months is given to complete each course. There can, however, be no more than a five-year break between courses.
