Certified Professional Managers Program (CM)
Mickey Lord • Jennifer Rosas

Target Audience: Categories S5 and S6. Individuals with at least three years of experience in a management role who understand the basics of supervision and desire a more advanced and theoretical approach to management.

WorkLife and Organizational Development is pleased to offer the Certified Professional Managers Program (CM). In 2009-2010 we will pilot this 12-month program with a cohort of 15 participants.

The CPM program is based on the body of work developed by James Madison's Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM). The ICPM sets performance standards for managers worldwide and conducts research in the areas of management, business education, academic assessment, and certification.

To earn the CM certification, participants must meet the eligibility requirements for both experience and education, submit a journal for each module, and pass three challenging CM assessment exams which are administered upon completion of each module. Certified Managers™ will join a network of over 10,000 professionals worldwide (http://www.icpm.biz).

The CM program consists of three modules: Management Skills I: Foundations of Management; Management Skills II: Planning and Organizing; and Management Skills III: Leading and Controlling.

Each module offers a blended learning approach to provide classroom, text book, and online learning experiences for participants as outlined below.
