Attend full-day seminar sessions two days a month, augmented by a rich online learning environment. Instructors will be available every step of the way to answer your questions and guide you through the certification process.
Organizations large and small can benefit from sponsorship of a CPM participant in a number of ways. Participants bring enhanced knowledge and management skills back to their organizations which they can apply immediately. They also form a network of peers to call on for assistance, information, and advice to help them solve problems and perform at the highest level in their position. To earn the CPM credential, participants must also use the skills they learn to complete a project that will directly benefit your organization.
