A key requirement for earning the CAIP designation is being able to apply the skills and knowledge learned through professional education on the job. Experienced Pathway Professionals usually have over fifteen years of experience with an agency or on the client side. The experience typically includes the opportunity to develop and recommend approaches to using research and analytics to solve business problems. It should also involve designing both qualitative and quantitative research studies and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data.
Applicants offer their resumes, references, description of their professional experience, competencies and relationships and are verified by the Board of Examiners before they are approved to earn the CAIP designation. Recent Experienced Practitioner-certified CAIP designation holder Todd Armstrong had the following words to say about his new industry credentials:
“As a client-side insights professional, you go where you are needed. A CAIP designation demonstrates the ability to apply fundamental methodologies to business problems wherever they arise – be it in marketing, communications, human resources, operations, and many other functions.”

Till the end of this year, marketing research, analytics and insights professionals with a minimum of 15 years professional experience who have the competencies identified in the CAIP Competency framework will be eligible to apply for the CAIP designation through the experienced practitioner route. This option is intended to enable leaders from our industry who are well-versed in the skills and requirements of the CAIP Competency Framework to earn their CAIP designation without writing the exam.
CAIP Canada recognizes that the exam pathway may not be practical for those with significant industry experience already working in senior roles to obtain the certification. However, the Experienced Practitioner pathway will only be available until the end of 2021, after which all candidates will be required to pass the CAIP Exam to earn the CAIP designation. If you or your colleagues have over fifteen years of work experience in the research, analytics and insights industry, we encourage you to apply to be a CAIP before this pathway offer closes!
Apply for the CAIP as an Experienced Practitioner.
