Earn your CAIP Designation through the October Exam

CAIP Canada’s first exam happened this early this year in April with three exam-takers successfully completing their exam to earn their CAIP designation. The next exam sitting will happen on October 04, Thursday. The rigorous and comprehensive CAIP Exam is a seven-hour sitting and will test a candidate’s ability to apply the competencies described in the CAIP Canada Competency Framework.

“The CAIP designation next to someone’s name signifies the experience and skill to deliver thoughtful research and meaningful insights for the business to succeed.” Nicole Cadek, CAIP, Manager, Customer Experience, Nova Scotia Power
