EXIN EPI Certified Information Technology Manager
Licensing authority: EXIN
Initial by examination
- Award
- Pass the single CITM examination with at least 33 correct answers; the certificate is valid for three years before recertification. Certificate-holder validity does not set the examination-version validThrough.
- Delivery
- The adopted guide describes examination by an authorised training partner at the end of the last training day. Current course delivery includes ILT, VILT and training on demand; the applicable provider must confirm examination scheduling, eligibility and seat availability for 2026-11-25 through 2027-02-28. No guaranteed future appointment or universal availability of a general EXIN online channel is asserted.
- Experience
- EPI's framework permits entry at any level upon meeting its years-of-experience prerequisite. The CITM-specific page says two to four years of actual IT experience is best suited; this wording is retained without converting it into a strict four-year ceiling or inventing an earlier certification requirement.
- Scope
- Initial English CITM examination only; no independently evidenced CITM bridge, separate practical assessment or prerequisite examination is created from course progression or alternative delivery modes.
- Training
- Evidence of CITM training by an EXIN accredited training provider is mandatory; course material is supplied by the training provider.
