    How do I get Chartered?

    You need to:

    • First become an Associate, Member or Fellow of CIM (find out more about membership here)
    • Then complete two consecutive years of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), easily done through CIM’s CPD app which you can find on the App Store or Google Play store
    • Finally, pass the Chartered Marketer Online Assessment. If you hold a CIM Level 7 qualification, you could be eligible for an exemption.

    Once Chartered, you can use the Chartered Marketer designatory letters and logo to demonstrate your unrivalled knowledge, skills and commitment as a professional marketer.

    Routes to become Chartered

    Select your experience level below and answer any further questions and we'll tell you what you need to do.

    What marketing experience do you have?

    Unfortunately you need a minimum of 3 years marketing experience or a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing qualification / equivalent marketing degree qualification to qualify for the Associate membership level.

    Don't worry, you can still sign up as an Affiliate Professional and complete CPD each year to demonstrate your professional development. Once holding Associate (ACIM) membership you will be able to submit CPD towards achieving Chartered Marketer status.
