Becoming A Chartered Marketer Print E-mail


charmarThe Chartered Institute of Marketing is the only professional marketing body to hold a Royal Charter since 1989. This status is further enhanced by the granting of individual Chartered Marketer status to members by Privy Council on 1 October 1998.

Having Chartered Marketer status demonstrates that you practice the highest professional marketing standards by keeping your marketing knowledge and skill current.


The Benefit To You As a Chartered Marketer
You should gain more credibility with employers, and a competitive edge over your peers, helping you to progress your career more effectively. Only The Chartered Institute of Marketing can award Chartered Marketer status to a marketer. We campaign with employers to recognise this status as the benchmark for highly skills marketers. As a consultant in the marketing arena, Chartered Marketers status can demonstrate ongoing commitment and competency to your clients.

The Benefit To Your Employer
Many marketers have a relevant marketing qualification, but Chartered Marketers must ensure that they maintain and develop the currency of their marketing skills and knowledge. Chartered Marketer status is an effective measreument of business competency and expertise, which will ultimately contribute to better business performance. It is also a reassurance that the marketer will be ethical, experienced and can demonstrate first class marketing skills to give you improved business advantage.

How To Become A Chartered Marketer
Complete 35 hours of continuous professional development (CPD) each year (1 July - 30 June) for two consecutive years and record your activities on this record card. You must hold either Member (MCIM) or Fellow (FCIM) status to be eligible for Chartered status, but you can start collecting your CPD hours as an Associate Member (ACIM) and as an Affiliate member (non-studying).

Submit your completed record card with supporting evidence annually for these two years by 31st December. If your evidence is sufficient, then you will be awarded Chartered Marketer status.

Maintaining Your Chartered Marketer Status
Continue to complete at least 35 hours CPD each year (1 July - 30 June). Once you have submitted your initial two years evidence and gained the Chartered Status, you will only be required to submit evidence as part of our 10% random survey. (Please note that as there are around 4500 Chartered Marketers, you may be requested to do this two years in a row).
