Help CentreIf you pass your qualification, there are two elements of designation you may be eligible for to recognise your achievement; qualification designation and professional designation.
If you pass an Advanced Certificate (Intermediate) course, or above, once complete you will be eligible to become a member of ICA and gain recognition by using a professional designation after your name, e.g., AICA, MICA or FICA.
To use these professional ICA designations you must complete the required level of qualification, commit to ongoing professional development and operate in accordance with our Code of Conduct as a member.
In addition, by completing any ICA course you gain the right to use a qualification designation that indicates the level and areas of specialism your course covered. For example: Adv. Cert (CDD), Dip (FinCrime) or Prof.PgDip (AML)
Here's how this would like in practice:
Ian Hancocks Adv. Cert (CDD), AICA
Ian Hancocks Dip (FinCrime) MICA
Ian Hancocks Prof.PgDip (AML) FICA
More information can be found at ICA Designations.
