Those who successfully complete the CM exams achieve Certified Manager (CM) certification, a prestigious credential that recognizes competency and professionalism of managers in all fields.
WHY CM CERTIFICATION?
Certification has long been a mark of competency and credibility. CLUs (Certified Liability Underwriters), CFAs (Chartered Financial Analysts), and MCPs (Microsoft Certified Professionals) have all successfully used certification in their respective fields to distinguish them from their colleagues. Now managers can obtain professional recognition with the CM Program.
For individuals, CM certification:
- builds management knowledge & skills
- reflects professional achievement
- enhances career opportunities and advancement
For employers, CM certification:
- confirms management competence
- demonstrates professional commitment
- sets standards for quality management
