Additional details:

The CMP exam is administered by the Events Industry Council.  My class is only a study group to help you pass the test.

In order to sit for the test, you must submit an application to the EIC for acceptance. You need either 36 months of work experience OR 24 months of work experience with an industry degree.

More information on the criteria is available here: https://www.eventscouncil.org/CMP/Future-CMPs/Eligibility-requirements

Before applying for the CMP exam, you need to have earned 25 clock hours of continuing education (CE/CEU) within the past 5 years.  This can be MPI meetings, PCMA meetings, ASAE meetings. It can also be any webinars or events you may have attended that are specific to meeting planning and/or project management.  

If you haven't already, you need to create an account at the EIC web portal so that any CEU providers can automatically upload your credits.

More info here: https://www.eventscouncil.org/CMP/FAQs/CMP-Applicant-FAQs

If you don’t have enough clock hours yet, don't worry!  There are plenty of free webinars and articles you can read for CEU credits.  These can be done simultaneously while you are studying to take the exam. I can help you with resources to get the CEU credits. 

For this class, you need to purchase the prep materials from PCMA.  You need the EIC manual, The Glossary and the PMM Manua all of which can be purhcased here: https://www.pcma.org/products/cmp-prep/

The fees for the exam are $250 to submit your application and $475 to take the exam.  Again, these fees are payable to the Events Industry Council: https://www.eventscouncil.org/CMP/Future-CMPs/fee-structure

The fee to participate in this study group is $150 payable to PCMA Gulf States Chapter.   

Class will start October 7 and run 11 weeks. The class will last 90 minutes to 2 hours on one night a week, most likely Wednesday nights.
