What is a CMCA designation?
NBC-CAM has developed the only national certification program to recognize those individuals who have demonstrated the fundamental knowledge to manage community associations. To become a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA), a candidate must successfully complete a 16-hour course and pass the National Certification Examination. Managers must adhere to the CMCA Standards of Professional Conduct and obtain continuing education credits to remain certified. Continuing education credits can be obtained by completing 16 hours of coursework every two years; self-study work and qualified teaching or writing may also satisfy this requirement. CAI recommends that all community associations ensure that their manager has earned this basic certification.
