CMP Certification

Achieving the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) status designates candidates have demonstrated they have mastered the body of knowledge of the meetings industry. The CMP program is administered by the Events Industry Council, which is supported by 31 meeting and hospitality industry organizations. (See www.eventscouncil.org for the full listing).

First, thank you for your patience. This is all new for everyone, including the EIC. They have never rolled out a BETA test, produced new material, or stopped the testing period in the 18 years I’ve facilitated the study group. I’m excited for them to do this as it is a cleaner process and ultimately will better prepare the overall experience moving forward. It has not been seamless, but we are getting there.  That said, I will summarize what has been learned most recently.

  • The local study group will be postponed until August 27th. Please feel free to share this with others who may be interested. If you have already paid for the study group, you’re in forever and will NOT need to pay again. I need to know if you will participate or not, so you get future updates. *I know some people on this list may have already taken the test and no longer need this info. Please remind me, and you’ll be removed from this list…..I was trying to maximize the communication. ðŸ˜Š
  • If you are ready to take the EXAM – there is time to still sign up for the BETA test. What you have studied so far is enough information to support the exam. You should apply no later than the first week of May to ensure you are approved and able to schedule to take the test by the end of May.
  • If you have not started studying or have not studied enough, it will be worth waiting until the August exam period to start.
  • If you are ready to apply - *IMPORTANT UPDATE* - You can submit your application, however study group hours no longer will count towards the application. Apparently, this has been true for a few years, however, some applications were accepted with the hours listed. This was a hard one to hear, but I do not want anyone to submit and have their application denied for this reason.

 Thank you again for your patience with this process, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. If you are no longer interested or need updates, please respond to me so we can spare others' inbox messages. ðŸ˜Š I appreciate everyone and know we will be even more amazing on the other side of this process!!

Warmest regards,

Adrienne
