ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The exam reflects situations and issues that practitioners will encounter and requires students to apply their knowledge to answer case studies, write reports and explain techniques and terms.
PCIAM is made up of one three-hour unit, which is delivered in narrative format.
In addition to being a stand-alone qualification, this certificate also forms one unit of the CISI Diploma. The certificate is a Level 6 qualification and so, with a small amount of gap-filling, fulfils the requirements of the RFA/RDR.
