The CICAM academic programmes are university (or equivalent) based and are open to any person who meets these entrance standards. Within the academic qualification, obligatory credits have to be attained in Administration, Accounting and Economics. The balance of credits are optional and are selected by the member from a variety of business courses according to the applicant's own career path goals. Advanced standing may be granted by the Institute, within its requirements for suitable academic achievement attained outside the designated university or equivalent programme.

The development and certification programme for administrators and managers was incorporated in Canada on May 17, 1979. The Canadian Institute was chartered under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act.

The academic requirements for certification in Canada must be attained through a recognized degree-granting university or college or business school with equivalent academic standards. International applicants must submit internationally recognized University, College or Business School transcripts. In Canada, it is possible to complete the business courses in whole or in part through lecture attendance, tutorial/correspondence or by radio/cablevision. Persons non-resident in Canada may acquire the academic standards through study at any recognized university or college throughout the world. The institute has, within its own academic criteria, the ability to grant advanced standing for comparable academic study.

The CICAM philosophy has always been:

"Spend your educational dollar and study time wisely. Combine the CAM study programme with a university degree, diploma or certificate programme."

In other words, each academic objective met should be a building block to the next level of achievement.
