Course Prerequisite
To register for the CIA exam, you will have to either hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university or an equivalent degree. However, if you do not meet this requirement, your years of professional work experience can also count towards your eligibility. The simplest way to find out if you are eligible to sit for the CIA exam is to send details of your degree and work experience. More details can be found in the attached CIA certification handbook. Education: Candidates must hold an associate degree or higher to be approved. Common equivalents are a foundation degree, diploma of higher education, higher national diploma, or three A-level certificates with a grade of C or higher are also acceptable. Work Experience: Candidates may apply to the certification program and sit for exams prior to obtaining the required work experience. However, candidates will not be certified until the experience requirement is met within the program eligibility. Experience for the IIA’s certification programs is based on the maximum level of education achieved.
