CIPM Exams

Hey guys,
if anybody here has completed the CIPM exams could you tell me how long it took to get through each level. thanks

I’ve taken the Principles exam. It’s relatively straightforward - I would guess I put in about 75 hours in total. You could probably do it with less but I wasn’t taking any chances.

Thanks mate, Any other feedback?

I passed principles first time with about 200 hours studying. I am an IT guy by trade, so that made the learning curve steep. Just took the experts exam (300+ hours prep) and the material was WAY more challenging, mainly due to amount of reading compared to principles. Hoping I passed, because I so don’t want to go through it again.
Good luck.

Wow. If you’re going to put in that kind of time, why not just take the CFA? The CFA designation is about 10x as valuable as CIPM, even if you are a Performance Analyst (as I used to be).
