Standard ICM examination fees are £20 per subject and are payable through ICM-approved teaching centres or directly to ICM itself. Please note: There is a £5 administration charge for payment of fees by credit card.
What level of membership is right for me?
Although there are clear and very specific entry requirements for each grade of membership, the Institute recognises that not all individuals share the same educational or academic background, sector knowledge, level of responsibility or work experience and, as a result, there are a number of different routes to membership. Contact your course advisor for available courses and see which one is right for you.
Can I defer my examination to another exam series? / Deferrals?
There is a fee of GBP £10.00 per subject should you wish to defer your examinations to another series. If you are unable to undertake your examinations, it is essential you advise ICM before the appropriate examination date, otherwise the full entry fee of GBP £20.00 will be applicable. Should you be deferring through ill health, you will need to attach a copy of your medical certificate to the new entry form. Please note you may only defer examinations on one occasion and thereafter you will need to pay the full entry fee of GBP £20.00.
How do I obtain a replacement certificate?
Replacement certificates are available at a fee of GBP £10.00 per certificate. Please forward your request including your Student Registration Number, £10.00 GBP together with your current postal address and indicate which certificate is required to: info@icm.ac.uk.

Course policy
Let's Get Serious!
At Project Management Academy, we do not want to waste your time and money. While we aspire to provide you with the best management education, contents and tools to pass your exam and also enhance your knowledge, we do also expect that the participants do their part. We expect participants to adhere to our specific instructions and also participate actively in the class in which we have designed to maximise learning in the shortest possible time. Our courses are strictly tailored and controlled in terms of quality from relevant bodies in the United States. We have developed courses in accordance with International standards and world-wide best practices.
Confirmation
An email confirmation will be sent to you after you have registered for our class. Subsequently, you will receive a confirmation letter which will indicate the final step in class registration and participation. We advise that you read your confirmation letter carefully to obtain details of the course and class that you will be attending.
Register Early
We encourage you to register early to book your place at our classes. Our classes are limited in size and in the number of frequency. Please note that our classes are usually fully booked about 2-3 weeks prior to its scheduled date. You may get benefits/discounts for early registration
Payment
Payment for all courses must be received at least one week before the course begins. We appreciate your consideration to pay as early as possible to avoid any payment issues.

- If you cancel a course 30 calendar days prior to the first day of the course, a N1,000.00 cancellation fee will be charged for each registration. You will be refunded the amount of your tuition paid minus the N1000.00.
- If you cancel a course between 30 calendar days and 10 calendar days prior to the first day of the course, a N5,000.00 cancellation fee will be charged for each registration. You will be refunded the amount of your tuition paid minus N5,000.00.

Alternatively, a full refund of paid tuition will be made. Any expenses incurred by the participant in the registration process or for those which is over and above the class fee will be borne entirely by the participant himself. Project Management Academy will not be liable in any way to refund or pay for such expenses.

A participant may transfer to any other comparable class provided there is space available. There shall be no charge for the first transfer. A N1,000.00 fee per class may be imposed for more than 2 transfers.
Partial Attendance
A Certificate of Completion will be issued by PMA for a given course only if the participant does not miss more than 2 hours per course attended.
Note that if the conditions above are not met, Project Management Academy will not issue the participant a Certificate of Completion. In addition, not meeting the conditions listed above will render the ‘Pass the Exam’ guarantee (if any is given) for that particular course null and void.

Participants who violate this policy will be asked to leave their respective registered class. No refund will be given in such cases.
