Do you have a number of employees that you would like to see credentialed through ICPM? Perhaps you have clients that have asked you to help them gain a management certification…Either way, being a partner gives you the marketing visibility on ICPM’s website, substantial discounts on products that you can either pass along to your clients, or keep those discounts to increase your profits, and access to online resources for you and your clients. 

The partnership definitions of IP and AP stand for: 

IP – Instructional Partner

AP – Associate Partner

The primary difference between these 2 designations are in how the partner is expecting to pay for their student’s access to ICPM’s certification programs. If you would like ICPM to bill each of your students individually then you would be classified as an AP. If ICPM is able to bill the partner for multiple students at one time (a whole class for example), then they would be designated as an IP.

My Account

Your certificate is valid for one year, after initial certification attainment date. Recertification is then due annually.

CM™ and CS™ certification embodies a commitment to life-long learning to stay current on ever-changing management practices. Therefore, all certification holders are required to recertify to maintain awareness and continued use of their certifications. 

Recertification is required to maintain active use of all certification designations and associated benefits of attained certification status. Recertification is based upon certificate attainment date and due on or before that date.

All recertification requirements for all members are accomplished through the ICPM® Client Dashboard

PDUs are required for both CM™ and CS™ certificate holders. PDUs are submitted via the ICPM® Client Dashboard.

Once a certification holder has been designated as Lapsed, the certification holder is required to purchase the appropriate lapsed status bundle.

CM™ or CS™ certificate holders that wish to be designated as Retired status, must make their wishes known to ICPM® before their annual recertification date by agreeing to, and completion of the Certification Retirement Agreement

For the CS and CM program, students are given 12 months (CS) or 15 months (CM) to complete the program. During that time, students have access to all the needed learning materials to help them complete their studies. At the end of the program’s availability and once you have completed the final exam, you are no longer able to access or see the learning materials (PowerPoint, exams, etc.). If you would like to continue to have access to those resources, you will need to purchase monthly access to those learning materials. 

Examinations

All authorized ICPM® exams are accessed through the Exams/Proctoring portion of the ICPM® Client Dashboard.

If you purchased a bundle that included books, then your initial exam’s virtual proctor is included in the price.

If you purchased a bundle that did NOT include books, there is an additional charge of $30.00 per exam.

Virtual proctoring is purchased through your ICPM client dashboard.

All ICPM® exams are allowed one attempt per virtual proctoring purchased.

If you happen to fail your exam (virtual or live in-person proctoring), you can retake that exam, but you will be charged a $50.00 retake exam fee for each retake exam needed.

There are no limits on how many times you retake the exams provided the retake fee has been paid/cleared.

Are you someone who does not like to take tests or exams? Do you feel that you know the materials, but at exam time feel like you’ve forgotten everything, or your apprehension climbs the closer you get to taking the required certification exam? Then consider adding the Examination Assurance Insurance (EAI) to your purchase of each of your exams! Purchasing an EAI for each of the required exams will give you a 2nd chance at taking that exam in the event that you do not pass it the first time. Each EAI purchased will give you one additional chance to pass the required exam to move closer or achieve your certification with ICPM.

When you first ordered your certification bundle program, you should have seen the option to add this product to your cart. If you felt at the time you didn’t need it, but would prefer to have it for future exams, then yes… You can purchase it while in the middle of your program. Please visit the store and choose the appropriate EAI that best suites your need!

ICPM has separated the required certification exams from the bundles based on customer demand so that customers can purchase the learning materials at one time and then the exam(s) when needed at a later time.
