Clear Vision Consultation and Training

 The Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM) is a not-for-profit, educational institute dedicated to raising competency and professionalism in the field of management by training and certifying managers and facilitating professional development.

 

Located on the campus of James Madison University (JMU) in Harrisonburg, VA, USA, the Institute is a business center of the JMU College of Business. Through a grant from the George R. Brown Foundation, management educators and members of two professional trade groups--the National Management Association (NMA) and the International Management Council (IMC)--founded the Institute in 1974 to educate and recognize managers via a professional certification program (the Certified Manager Program). ICPM is governed by a Board of Regents comprised of business executives, industry representatives, academicians, and the NMA President. The executive director of the Institute also serves as the Dean of the College of Business at James Madison University.

 

The CM Program is organized into three modules which cover the body of knowledge outlined below. Each module comprises 25-30 hours of classroom training and a CM assessment exam.

 

CM ™ Exam Prep Materials

The CM exams are supported by a comprehensive program of management training comprised of topics “essential” to success in today’s workplace, as identified by thousands of corporate managers through periodic job task analyses. CM training can be completed as individualized, self-directed study or group, classroom study. CM exam prep materials consist of:

• 3 dynamic, application-based manuals custom published by McGraw-Hill, and
• a robust online learning center (http://www.vcampus.com/icpm) comprised of learning resources and exam prep tools

CM™ Exams

There are 3 CM™ assessment exams—(MS I, MS II, and MS III). To be eligible to test, an individual must have:

1. an approved CM application on file with ICPM, and
2. paid the applicable CM program fees

Format and Location of Exams. Exams are administered “on demand” when an individual or group is ready to test. Each CM exam is a 2 hour, closed book exam consisting of 120 multiple choice questions. Exam questions are of three types: knowledge, analytical and decision making. Each question has four answer selections (1 thru 4) with one correct answer.

Exam Results:  Exams are graded in aggregate on or around the 15th of each month. Exam results are reported as “P” for pass and “F” for fail. All test takers receive a mailed feedback report which documents the P or F grade and provides subscores (1 to 5) for each content area covered by an exam.

Failed exams may be retaken by repaying half the exam fee and waiting 30 days. Failed exams may be retaken an unlimited number of times.

>> What is CM™ Certification?

The CM™ Certification is a third party verification of management competency. The “generalist” certification is designed for entry to mid-level managers working in all industries.

The certification process involves: 

 

• CM™ Application -- to determine eligibility 
• Training & Study -- self directed or group, classroom instruction 
• Assessment -- 3 CM™ exams (1 coinciding with each module), and 
• Recognition - CM™ certificate & pin, “CM” credential, awards   ceremony (optional)

Specifically, CM certification: 

• enhances management and leadership skills, knowledge, and ethics,

• distinguishes managers by demonstrating personal initiative and  achievement 
• offers a competitive edge for career placement and advancement 
• demonstrates an organization’s commitment to quality management
