When to Recertify

Rationale for Recertification Interval

The NBC-CAM Board determined the interval for recertification to be two-years. The rationale for the recertification interval is listed below:

1. Community association management is a dynamic profession with best practices and laws affecting the profession changing regularly. The laws that affect community association management and operations may change each year during state legislative sessions. In our research, we have found that it is reasonable to expect certified professionals to obtain information through continuing education opportunities about the changes in the laws and best practices every two years.
2. The interval has to be long enough to allow the certified professionals to earn the appropriate credits but short enough to keep the certified professionals motivated to engage in education and training.
3. The determination was also based on recommendations to move towards best practice which would require routine annual continued education participation annually in attempts to help certified professionals avoid long periods of education inactivity.

You must recertify every two years to keep your CMCA current. Managers are placed in either an April 1 or an October 1 recertification cycle when they become certified.

Below you may search the database of all active CMCAs and their recertification dates (the date they need to recertify in order to keep their certification active). If you do not see your name and believe it should be in the database or if you have any questions, please call NBC-CAM at (703) 836-6902.

You must enter a first name and/or a last name to search the database. If you can't find the manager you are looking for, try entering only a first name or last name.

This database is updated quarterly (January, April, July, October). If you have recently recertified and are checking the database for your name, please understand that the database will not reflect the change until after the next update.
