CAM feedback service

If you have received a 'marginal fail', D grade, for a small fee you may like to apply for a feedback report on your exam paper or integrative project, written by a CAM examiner.

This service is designed to highlight areas where you could have gained more marks and provides constructive comments about how your answers could be improved. Whilst this service is available to all students who have been unsuccessful, it is likely to be of most benefit to students who have been awarded a D grade. The fees for this service are as follows:

Examination paper £50
Integrative project £70

Appeals

Full details of our appeals and malpractice policies can be found on the CIM Learning Zone at www.cim.co.uk/learningzone Alternatively please call +44 (0)1628 427191 for further information.

Certificates

Certificates for completed qualifications are sent out approximately three months after the results are released.

(You may also obtain a certificate for any individual module you have passed. These are available on request for an additional fee of £25, but do not certify that you have completed a qualification.)

Replacement certificates can only be provided if CIM can authenticate the results. All replacement certificates will be date stamped and marked 'duplicate'.

If you need to request a replacement certificate, please email qualifications@cim.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)1628 427120 to request the relevant form. Please complete and return this form to CIM. We will endeavour to dispatch your certificate within ten working days of your payment being processed.

Please note: there will be a charge of £25 to produce a replacement certificate.
