When are the exams?
CIM exams take place twice a year: in the 2nd week of June and in the 1st week of December. Morning exams usually begin at 9.30am and afternoon exams begin at 2pm. Exams last for 3 hours.
Where do the exams take place?
You will normally sit your exams at the college where you’ve been studying.
The CIM allocates Distance Learners and self-studiers with an exam venue near your home (or if you gave The CIM your work address, near your workplace). If you have any special requests about where you sit your exams you should call The CIM on 01628 427120 as soon as possible since exam venues are booked several weeks in advance.
What can I take into the exams with me?
Pencil case. Calculators. Notes. Medication. Water. SMIP 6 page analysis document. Foregin/English language dictionary.
When and how will I get my results?
The CIM will make your results available on the last Friday in August (following the June exams) and the last Friday in February (following the December exams). Your results will be sent to you by post or you can access them online on the CIM website. You will need to have logged into the CIM website and have obtained your password. The CIM will provide you with advice and information on your next steps.
