About IACCM Certification

The Certification program is based on demonstrated performance as well as work experience and academic qualifications. This element requires both self-assessment against key skill and knowledge areas, and validation by a reviewer, usually the line manager, or a member of IACCM's certification review board where line manager review is not possible. Once the skills and experience portion is complete, you may move on to the exam or request a period for studying. All of this managed through IACCM's acclaimed web-based learning portal.

The output you receive includes a comprehensive personal report on the skill and knowledge strengths and gaps that you have relative to your peer group. This reporting capability is unique to IACCM and involves 'benchmarking' you against other professionals at the same certification level. As a result, the personalized advice on your strengths and areas for improvement gives you a solid foundation for a personal development plan.

Upgrading your accreditation

Members can apply for re-certification (to move to the next level) not less than one year after their initial certification. All members must renew their certification every two years, demonstrating that they continue to perform tasks relevant to the profession and their status within it.

Certification Renewal

Your IACCM certification will be valid for two years before it needs to be renewed. There is a 25 USD renewal fee to cover processing costs. Unlike other organizations, we do not charge a large fee to maintain your certification, and you can quickly and easily renew as part of your membership renewal. We do however expect that you have continued your personal and professional development.
