Question 1

What is the difference between the Infection Control Diploma and the CIC course?

Accepted Answer

The diploma builds practical IPC skills to lead infection control in your hospital. The CIC course is exam preparation for the CBIC CIC® credential. Both are self-paced with 12 months of access.

Question 2

Who can sit for the CIC exam?

Accepted Answer

CBIC sets the eligibility rules, which require at least one year of experience in infection prevention and control. Check CBIC's current requirements at cbic.org before you book.

Question 3

Is "CIC" the same as the AAPC inpatient coder certification?

Accepted Answer

No. In infection control, CIC means Certified in Infection Control, awarded by CBIC. AAPC's CIC is a medical-coding credential — a different field entirely.

Question 4

Can I do both the diploma and the CIC course?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many practitioners take the diploma first to build their foundation, then prepare for the CIC once they meet CBIC's experience requirement.
