The CIBM is not an examining body but recognises subjects passed or exempted from the CGISA curriculum. The major difference is that students will be entitled to apply for membership of the CIBM at various levels after passing a minimum of five CIS modules or if exemptions are granted and apply the appropriate designatory title after their names.
Members of other professional bodies, university graduates or holders of National Diplomas can qualify to apply for a higher level of CIBM membership by studying for the CGISA programme.
