Leverage the Highly Regarded CIRI/Rotman Investor Relations Certification Program

CIRI, in partnership with top-ranking business school – Rotman School of Management, delivers an in-depth, practical Investor Relations (IR) Certification Program. The Program, which covers all relevant areas of this multi-disciplinary role including capital markets, securities law, regulatory disclosure, accounting, finance, communications, ESG, artificial intelligence (AI) and strategy meets the evolving demands on today’s IR professionals.

The 10-month Program starts with three days of in-person classes at the Rotman School of Management in Toronto. This is followed by eight months of online classes to provide flexibility and accommodate the travel schedules of IROs. Each online class consists of a two- to three-hour tutorial to be watched on demand and a one-hour online class to discuss the lesson with the instructor and fellow students, taking place approximately every three weeks.

The next Program begins in person at Rotman School of Management, Toronto, October 8-10, 2024, with online classes scheduled approximately every three weeks until the Program concludes in person at Rotman School of Management, Toronto, June 18-19, 2025.

Upon successful completion of the Program and exam, individuals will join an exclusive group of IROs with the designation of Certified Professional in Investor Relations (CPIR).

With over 100 individuals having completed the Program, it is becoming the standard for IR professionals in Canada. These individuals have demonstrated their commitment to the transparency and integrity of the Canadian capital markets by advancing their practice of investor relations and the stature of the profession.
