Why Lauren studies, and encourages her team to
"CICM membership has been a guiding presence throughout my progression in the credit industry. Beyond enhancing my own technical knowledge and purpose in supporting clients, it allows me to lead by example.

Questions
What counts as studying?
You are enrolled on a CICM qualification course, you have booked a CICM exam, or you have ordered a CICM textbook for home study. You can also join if you plan to start within the next year.
How long can I stay a Studying member?
Up to three years. That gives you time to complete your qualification before moving to another grade.
What happens when I finish my qualification?
A CICM Level 3 Diploma makes you eligible to become an ACICM(Dip). A Level 5 Diploma makes you eligible to become an MCICM(Grad), if you also hold a Level 3 Diploma or have become MCICM or FCICM through the experience route.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. Add your company address to your account and we can invoice your employer.
