Success in the CPI exam can lead to membership of the IPA and to entitlement to use its designatory letters ‘MIPA’ (Member of the Insolvency Practitioners Association’). A separate Certificate of Proficiency in Personal Insolvency (CPPI) covers personal insolvency issues. It is primarily for those specialising in the personal insolvency sector.
NTI provide comprehensive and award-winning course for the IPA’s CPI qualification.
