The Canadian Institute of Management has been providing designation programs and professional management education programs since 1942 that permit individuals to enhance or acquire management and leadership skills. The basic C.I.M. certification program consists of 8 intensive academic courses in management and administration. Further academic studies may qualify for additional levels of certification. Experienced managers who can demonstrate specific achievements may receive a "Professional Manager" designation. Training classes are offered in class at Lambton College, by distance learning, or on-site in employer sponsored classes. This is the only Canadian organization empowered to grant designations recognizing General Management achievements.
