How do I get Chartered?
You need to:

- 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

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.
