Community managers interested in obtaining the Certified Manager of Community Associations® (CMCA®) certification can do so by following these three steps.
Step One:
Complete and pass a prerequisite course on community association management or fulfill the experience requirement.
Experience Requirement:
If a professional has at least five years experience as a community association manager, they may receive a one-time waiver of the prerequisite course. The experience must be as a community association manager—not as an assistant manager. Please list the experience below. If the candidate does not successfully pass the examination the first time, they will be required to take the prerequisite course prior to retaking the examination.
Step Two:
Complete and submit the application (PDF, 287 KB) for the CMCA Examination.
Step Three:
Successfully pass the CMCA Examination.
After you have obtained your CMCA certification, make sure to keep it current by meeting the requirements to maintain the certification through continuing education and compliance with the Standards of Professional Conduct.
Details regarding the CMCA program, the CMCA Examination, and NBC-CAM can be found in the CMCA Handbook (PDF, 489 KB). |
