Welcome / Introduction
The IMCA is the Recognised Professional Institute for Management Consultants and Business Advisers in the Republic of Ireland
The principal objective of the IMCA is the advancement of the professions of management consultancy and business advice through the establishment and maintenance of the highest standards of performance and conduct by its members, and by the promotion of the knowledge and skills required for that purpose. Membership is open to individual management consultants and business advisers and embraces consultants and advisers working with major international practices, specialist sole practitioners and those operating in State Agencies.
IMCA is authorised to award the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation in Ireland. CMC is an internationally recognised management consultancy qualification based on strict certification requirements relating to competence, ethics and independence. Only members of ICMCI (International Council of Management Consulting Institutes) can award the CMC qualification. IMCA is a member of ICMCI and, to become a CMC, applicants must join IMCI as an Associate and proceed to demonstrate their skills against IMCA’s Statement of Competence.
Individuals can apply directly to IMCA to become an Associate as the precursor to securing CMC, or they can work towards CMC as a consequence of being employed within an Accredited Practice.
