Following initial certification and authorization to use the CIMA^® and Certified Investment Management Analyst^SM marks, the CIMA certification must be renewed every two years. By successfully completing IMCA’s certification renewal requirements, CIMA professionals demonstrate to the public that they are individuals who have voluntarily agreed to meet high standards of professionalism.

The certification renewal process is currently in transition, and there are specific rules you must meet depending on your current certification renewal period start date. To identify your current certification renewal period start date, log into “My IMCA” and click the “CIMA” link in the left-column navigation.

If your current certification renewal period started prior to July 1, 2009, you must abide by the certification renewal rules outlined here.

If your current certification renewal period started on or after July 1, 2009, you must abide by the certification renewal rules outlined here.
