Exemptions Guide
The CGIA Institute offers candidates two gateways in terms of exemptions. A candidate is offered either regular exemptions or Special Exemptions
An exemption is awarded when a candidate is deemed to have studied the CGIA® curriculum in a previous qualification or studies which has been assessed using a technique and an academic standard comparable with those applied to the CGIA® curriculum.
Exemptions allow you to start the CGIA Charter Program at a level that is consistent with the knowledge and skills you gained from previous learning and qualification.
