CMP UNIVERSITY
Hosted by the MPI Arizona Sunbelt Chapter

Have you ever wanted to obtain your CMP certification?
CMP University is back in session in 2024!

The Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) program was launched in 1985 by the Events Industry Council to enhance the knowledge and performance of meeting professionals, promote the status and credibility of the meeting profession, and advance uniform standards of practice. Today, the CMP credential is recognized globally as the badge of excellence in the events industry. The qualifications for certification are based on professional experience, education, and a rigorous exam.

CMP University (CMP U) is the dynamic way to prepare for the CMP Examination. CMP U covers all domains and topics contained in the CMP International Standards within a university extension format. This series of regular infusions of knowledge will better prepare you throughout the months leading up to the exam and help you stay on track with your studying.

Also sensitive to today's economic challenges, the tuition for the entire semester starts at only $199 for MPI members and $275 for non-members. Your course fee includes recordings of each class (in case life happens!), made available in an entire library for one year. Recordings of the 2023 CMP U classes can be purchased for $95 for MPI Members and $150 for non-members.
