Certified Managers are required to recertify annually to maintain a high level of performance and retain the right to use the CMTM professional credential. |
|
Recertification Process |
|
To recertify, CMs must log on to the ICPM website and complete these 3 steps by February 28th of each year:
-
-
-
Pay a $50 professional fee
In addition, CMs must complete 4 Professional Development (PD) activities throughout the course of the year and record them on their CM directory profile. |
|
Professional Fees |
|
The $50 professional fee must be paid in US funds by credit card, check, or US money order. Wire transfers and Bahamas Postal Money Orders are NOT accepted. |
|

Lapsed Recertification |
|
CMs who fail to recertify annually lose their current CM status and the ability to use the professional "CM” credential. To bring a lapsed certification current, a CM must pay past due professional fees plus a $75 reinstatement fee.

Professional Development Activities |

The PD requirement is based on actual activities completed during the recertification year. Hours expended in an activity are not relevant, as long as the results are meaningful. All qualifying PD activities must develop business, management and/or leadership skills.
