California has additional education requirements for community manager certification. If you live in or practice in California, please refer to the information below for your certification and recertification requirements.
California has developed detailed and unique laws relating to community associations. Community association managers who practice in California must be familiar with a broad range of state-specific laws and regulations pertaining to community associations in order to serve their client associations effectively.
To ensure that CMCA certificants have the requisite experience, NBC-CAM has created additional qualification requirements for California CMCA certificants. By their first recertification, all California CMCA certificants must demonstrate that they have completed 30 hours of coursework relating to California community association operations at some point in their career. This coursework may be offered by accredited colleges or universities, or organizations approved by the California Department of Real Estate or NBC-CAM. Having the CCAM (Certified Community Association Manager) designation offered by the California Association of Community Managers (CACM) will qualify under this provision. Subsequently, managers must have at least taken a California law class as defined in the Manager Certification every five years.
California CMCA certificants will be required to complete Part G of the CMCA recertification application (PDF, 150 KB) for approval. CMCA certificants should retain all course information, as some CMCA certificants will be audited.
