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.

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.
