CIM | Chartered Managers Canada and the Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM) have come together to offer management training to businesses and their employees. As North America’s leading management associations, your employees will benefit from internationally recognized management certifications. CS and CM are offered by the ICPM, and C.Mgr. is offered by CIM.

Is Your Business Ready to Meet Management Demand?

Regardless of an organization's industry or focus, managers are an absolute continual necessity in the ever-evolving modern workplace. As companies continue to grow, more and more managers will be required to handle the day-to-day operations necessary to ensure organizational success. These businesses and organizations looking to meet the present demand for new managers are faced with similar dilemmas, which involves the need to:

• Train and promote their current workforce to positions of leadership and management.
• Offer practical and time-efficient solutions with positive outcomes for management training.
• Locate an affordable and reliable method for evaluating, assessing and validating an employee’s ability to manage.

An Alternative to Management Degree Programs

In the past, businesses have looked to college or university degree programs to meet their training needs. What organizations have quickly identified is that it’s not practical, affordable, or even time efficient to go through the process of navigating the complexities of todays’ current management degree program offerings.

Move Your Business Forward

Forward-thinking businesses and organizations have discovered that the most efficient and effective method for validating an employee’s capability for advancement and promotion is through management certification programs. Management certifications act as a reliable indicator that an employee has the skills, knowledge and abilities needed to perform in a management position effectively and efficiently. Not only this, but management certifications are practical, amazingly affordable, and time efficient when compared to management degree programs.

Integrating both the CS and CM Certification

Many businesses and organizations quickly discover the benefits of integrating both the Certified Supervisor and Certified Manager into their training and professional development programs. The CS helps ensure an organization has entry-level managers ready to fill the roles vacated by managers who have been singled out for advancement through the CM certification. By integrating both management certifications, businesses and organizations maximize their talent, grow their organizational structure, and strengthen their company culture.

Obtaining the C.Mgr. Certification

For those applicants that already hold an undergraduate or graduate degree in ANY discipline, the CIM and ICPM have a reciprocity agreement to obtain the internationally recognized CIM Chartered Manager (C.Mgr.) designation. More details can be found here.

The ICPM Competency Model

CIM and ICPM bases the CS and CM certifications on the ICPM Competency Model. The ICPM Competency Model is an extensive global-practice analysis that incorporates input from subject matter experts, focus groups and the survey results of thousands of active management practitioners to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities managers need to perform competently on-the-job. By developing competencies and validating them through assessment, CIM and ICPM has become a leader in advancing managerial excellence worldwide.
