ABOUT CMP ACADEMY
This class prepares you with the information you need to apply for and take the CMP exam. You still must pay the test and application fees to the Events Industry Council.
The Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation is a must-have for event organizers, designers, and strategists who want to demonstrate their professionalism to employers, peers and clients.
But the test is challenging, and meeting professionals who want to pass it must prepare in various ways—including self-study, skills gap, needs analysis, and prep courses. Join Tim Luepke, MA, CTS, CMP, CMM, DES, for this open-floor and interactive CMP Academy class that will help you feel confident going into the exam room with best practices as outlined in the CMP-International Standards (CMP-IS).
YOU MUST STILL PASS THE TEST TO BECOME A CMP.
But this class will provide you with proven study methods, test-taking tips and other tools from an association and higher education professional. Gain insight into how you cannot just read the questions, but how to read between the lines and contextually analyze this logic-based exam. No matter where you are in the process (including recertification), this course will help prepare you for the exam and apply standard practices it on the job.
You will learn key concepts behind the CMP-IS and how to apply them on at work, discuss best practices for preparing for and taking the exam and develop a personal study path based on where you are in the process. The study materials for this session are the referenced recommended reading: 9th Edition Convention Industry Council (CIC) Manual, 6th Edition Professional Meeting Management and the Events Industry Council’s APEX Glossary.
Note: This is not your standard study course! We do not work to provide sample tests and memorization tools—because at the end of the day, the CMP and its questions are as unique as YOU. Instead, we give you the tools and knowledge to help you navigate it with ease and answer each question with confidence.
