09/02/2026
Option to receive Study Materials in EITHER Softcopy Format OR Hardcopy Format OR through CIC's On-line Study Platform:
- All CIC Study Materials are available in traditional professionally printed Hardcopy Format.
- Most CIC Diploma Programs, and several Honours Diploma and Baccalaureate Programmes, are also available in Softcopy pdf Format.
- Some CIC Diploma Programs are also available to be studied through CIC's new On-line Study Platform.
Different people and different Members have their own study styles, preferences, locations and circumstances, and CIC aims to provide a wide range of study & training Options to Members.
Since September 2025 CIC has been offering Members the Option of receiving Study Materials for many CIC Diploma Programs* in Softcopy pdf format; this has proven to be very popular and so this Option will continue for the foreseeable future; it also makes the receipt of CIC Study Materials and other study items quicker for new Members.
In February 2026, a number of CIC Diploma Programs have become available on CIC's On-line Study Platform*, and more will become available during 2026.
Of course, the many applicants who choose the Hardcopy (printed) Study Material Option have the Hardcopy Study Materials sent rapidly by registered airmail post or courier service, and for many Programs the first Module(s) are also sent by email in pdf format to ensure studies can commence immediately.
