CIP

Certified Information Professional (CIP)

Professional certification Libraries and archives

1What it is

A credential in information management in the broad sense: creating, capturing and sharing content, extracting intelligence from it, digitalising document-heavy processes, automating governance and compliance, and planning and implementing an information management strategy. It sits closer to enterprise content management and electronic records than to historical archives.

2Who it suits

Document and digital content managers, process analysts, and those working on electronic records and content management systems.

3What it requires

No formal prerequisites or required training; AIIM recommends several years of experience in at least one of the exam areas.

4How it is earned

A single closed-book multiple-choice exam taken online with a proctor. AIIM announces on its page a move to a new version of the exam, so check before preparing.
