Demonstrate Mastery. Achieve Success.

Certification is an important tool for job seekers and for employers seeking to hire the
most qualified people. eLearningCurve offers a robust certification program, Certified
Information Management Professional (CIMP) that builds upon education to certify
knowledge and understanding of information management.

The CIMP designation makes a clear statement that you have learned from the
industry leaders and have demonstrated thorough understanding of information
management foundations or a specific information management discipline by passing
several challenging exams. For the true experts and standard bearers in the industry
we offer the second level of CIMP certification - CIMP Ex. To earn CIMP Ex
designation you must demonstrate a combination of great Expertise, Experience, and
Excellence. Read CIMP Rulebook for detailed CIMP and CIMP Ex requirements.

WHAT SETS CIMP APART?

Rigorous exam system: We go beyond the basics. Rather than testing for knowledge
that any industry professional should know, CIMP exams test an in-depth knowledge,
comprehensive understanding, and ability to apply various concepts to a problem. You
can be proud of your achievement of the CIMP designation, and hiring managers can
be sure they are getting a highly knowledgeable employee.

Education to support certification: We believe that the best way to ensure success
is to combine meaningful industry experience with thorough academic study. To that
end, CIMP exams are aligned with our courses, developed and taught by top industry
educators and professionals.

Designed with busy, working professionals in mind: No time-consuming or costly

travel is required to complete coursework or to take your CIMP examinations. All
courses and exams are available online. All that’s required of candidates is an internet
connection and the desire to learn and demonstrate mastery of information
management topics

CIMP REQUIREMENTS

Becoming CIMP Certified

CIMP certification is currently offered in these tracks:

 Information Management Foundations (IMF)

 Data Quality (DQ)
 Data Governance (DG)
 Master Data Management (MDM)
 Data Modeling & Metadata Management (META)
 Data Integration (DI)
 Business Intelligence & Analytics (BA)
 Data Science (SC)

To meet CIMP academic requirements in a track (see table next page), you must
complete five courses from its curriculum, including the fundamentals course (F) and at
least two core courses (C). For META track, one of the completed core courses must be
a data modeling course (C1) and one must be a metadata management course (C2).
For IMF track, you must complete the fundamentals course plus at least one course from
each core area: data management (C1), data integration (C2), and information analytics
(C3).

Achieving the CIMP Ex Level of Certification

CIMP Ex goes beyond CIMP to indicate that you are a true standard bearer in the
industry. To meet CIMP Ex academic requirements in a track, you must complete
seven courses from its curriculum, including the fundamentals course and all core
courses, and one elective course that can be chosen from the entire course list. For the
IM Foundations track specifically, you must take the fundamentals course, plus at least
two courses from each core area: data management, data integration, and information
analytics.

To earn CIMP Ex designation you must also demonstrate:

 Expertise. Successfully complete seven courses from one of the CIMP tracks,
including the fundamentals course and all core courses, and one elective course
that can be chosen from the entire course list. For the IM Foundations track
specifically, you must take the fundamentals course, six core courses, and one
elective.
 Experience. Have at least five years of work experience in information
management. For all CIMP tracks except Information Management Foundations,
each year in a role within the chosen track counts as two years of experience
(subject to approval by CIMP Board). You may count a job towards CIMP Ex
experience requirements as long as your duties were at least 50% in information
management. If you are not sure that your experience qualifies, please, contact
support@elearningcurve.com.
 Excellence. Achieve the average score on the eight CIMP exams of 75% or
better. If you have taken an exam more than once, only your best score will
count. However, an incremental 3% "penalty" will apply to the score for each
attempt beyond the second. Thus, if your actual score is 56% on the first attempt,
65% on the second attempt, and 76% on the second attempt, 73% (76%-3%) will
be used for the purpose of calculating the average. Note, that there is no
"penalty" for failing on the first attempt.

CIMP FAQ
How do I successfully complete a course?
To successfully complete a course you must achieve a 70% or better score on the
corresponding online CIMP exam. You even do not have to listen to the course itself if you
are confident in your knowledge. However, most students will find it advisable to take the
courses to prepare for the exams. Click here to learn more about CIMP exams.

Can I take an exam multiple times?

You can take each CIMP exam as many times as you want. However, you are not allowed to
attempt an exam more than three times in any 30-day period. Also, each exam license that
your purchase entitles you to three attempts. You will need to buy an additional exam license
to get extra attempts.

How do I get enrolled in the program?

The most convenient and cost-efficient method to enroll in the CIMP program is with one of
our CIMP Packages. Each package includes all courses and exams necessary to earn CIMP
or CIMP Ex in one of the tracks. Alternatively, you can enroll in courses one at a time. Click
here if you want to enroll in CIMP exams without taking the courses.

I completed CIMP certification. How do I enroll in the CIMP Ex program?

The most convenient and cost-efficient method to enroll in the CIMP Ex program for those
with CIMP designation is with CIMP to CIMP Ex Upgrade Package. Alternatively, you can
enroll in the courses one at a time.

Is there a time constraint to complete certification?

You must complete the required exams within 24-months from the time you pass the first one.
Please note, in the event the required exams take longer than 24-months to complete, but
your qualifications satisfy re-certification rules, you are still eligible for certification (based on
eLC's verification of certain requirements.)

Can I earn CDS credit by completing a CIMP Certification?

Yes! If you complete a CIMP in Data Quality, Data Governance, MDM, or Metadata
Management tracks, you will automatically earn a credit for the corresponding CDS course.
For example, CIMP in Data Quality will earn you a credit for Data Quality for Data Stewards.

What do I get upon completion?

 A digital certificate that formally declares your achievement
 Letter of credential in PDF format that describes CIMP and your accomplishment in
earning the credential. Credential letters are often more effective attachments to
resumes and job applications than are copies of certificates.
 Use of CIMP designation on business cards and correspondence. You choose when
and whether to place the letters CIMP behind your name (Jane Doe, CIMP) or to
express more information by including the certification specialty (Jane Doe, CIMP --
Data Governance).
 Use of CIMP logo on business cards, correspondence, web sites, and social
networking profiles.
 Entry in the CIMP online registry that can be accessed by employers and others to
verify your credentials.

Is re-certification required?
Re-certification is essential to maintain a credible and meaningful certification. This is
especially true in a continuously changing field such as information management. Each CIMP
certificate expires three years from the date on which it is issued. Re-certification requires
only that you demonstrate a meaningful level of continued activity in the field. You can satisfy
this requirement in a variety of ways. Visit CIMP Rulebook page for the complete list.
