705 The efforts of the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) to localise its own examination through a legislation has now seen the light of day, following the launch of the CIMG Professional Marketing Qualifications exams which will start in September 2021. The institute, which was established in 1981, did not have legal backing to organise its own examinations and had had to rely on examinations from foreign institutes all these years. However, following the passage of Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana Act, 2020 (Act 1021) which has been assented to by the President, the institute can now organise its own local examinations. This is because the Act mandates the CIMG to, among other things, provide training, conduct examinations and award Professional Marketing Certificates in accordance with international best practices to improve the skills and competencies of marketing practitioners and professionals in the country.
