AIIM Solicits Candidates for the CIP v2023 Beta Exam

AIIM has announced it is soliciting candidates to take the updated CIP beta exam. The exam was completely rewritten this year after AIIM's decision last year to make it unproctored. The topics covered are largely the same, though there are some nuances here and there. 

The ideal candidate is someone with 5 years of experience in at least one domain of the CIP exam. If you are already a CIP, AIIM has requested that you not take the beta exam as it will tend to skew the results and make the exam harder than it is intended to be. But if you work with someone who meets the criteria, please have them sign up! 

I don't know whether the CIP Study Guide will have been updated by the time the beta launches, but the old (v2019) one still covers probably 85-90% of the exam. 

Candidates will receive a 50% discount to the full cost of the exam, or $175. The beta exam will be proctored; I believe it will only be available online. 

Candidates who pass the beta exam will receive the same certification as a CIP who has taken the final exam. The only difference is that candidates won't know they've passed for 4-6 weeks while AIIM determines the passing score and grades the exams according to that score.
