Becoming a Student - Examination


As a registered student member of the institute you are qualified to write examination and apply for exemption if necessary. The Capacity Building and Certification Division is in charge of conducting/administering the entire stages of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria examinations.

Although the history of the CIBN dates back to November, 1963, when it was established as a local centre of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, London, its first indigenous examination was held in the Foundation stage in April 1978 while the Professional examination was held for the first time in April 1984 with two candidates qualifying as Associates. Before 1978, the Institute only conducted the examination on behalf of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, London.

The examination is in three stages viz: Diploma, Intermediate Professional and Chartered Banker Levels. Successful completion of the three stages of the examination will lead to the award of the Certificate known as the Associateship of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (ACIB).
