CAIB Self-Study
Previous Edition
The Previous Edition of CAIB will remain available as a Self-Study option so learners can complete their designation. This edition will fully retire by December 2026. Please note: CAIB 2 and 3 have undergone content changes between the New Edition and Previous Edition, meaning both courses must be completed within the same edition. This restriction doesn't apply to CAIB 1 and 4, which remain interchangeable between the Previous Edition and New Edition 1.0.
