CIA Premier Partner Program

The IIA’s Chapter of Excellence program was introduced in early 2010 to recognize chapters for their belief in quality education and support of the CIA designation, specifically through The IIA’s CIA Learning System program. In 2021, 41 chapters earned this prestigious title.

To align with The IIA’s updated Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) and The IIA’s new Version 7.0 CIA Learning System, the Chapter of Excellence program has been revised and renamed as “The IIA’s CIA Premier Partner” program.
