Credibility, built on standards.
NCIMSA is a national chartered professional institute. Our authority rests on a defined body of knowledge, rigorous examination, an enforceable code of ethics, and continuing professional development.
The Standards We Uphold
What makes a NCIMSA designation credible.
A chartered designation is only as strong as the standard behind it. Ours rests on four pillars.
A Defined Body of Knowledge
Each chartered designation maps to a rigorous, examinable body of knowledge across the management sciences.
Examination & Assessment
Candidates are examined and complete an assessed industry project before a designation is conferred.
Code of Professional Conduct
Members are bound by an enforceable code of ethics, with disciplinary processes for breaches.
Continuing Professional Development
Chartered standing is maintained through ongoing CPD and periodic renewal.
