As a CISI Centre of Excellence, ICMA Centre students benefit from being able to study for CISI exam as part of their course. When asked his opinion on studying for a CISI Exam, Peter said "I have gained a more wholesome view of certain topics. Diving deeper into the modules like this will give me a competitive advantage when it comes to getting a job in the financial industry."

The award is available to ICMA Centre students who have consistently demonstrated excellence in their projects or exams. Students are invited to submit an essay and attend an interview with the members of the CISI Educational Trust. This gives the students a great opportunity to visit the CISI offices and network with members of the educational trust.
