Some agencies and participants may be concerned about paying in advance for a program that lasts a year or more. How will the billing work?
The Management Development Institute (MDI), who provides all of the CPM program Phase II coursework, has pledged to be flexible with participant’s billing arrangements based on agency needs. This includes monthly, quarterly and lump sum invoicing. MDI is also open to invoicing in separate fiscal years. However, no participant will receive his/her CPM designation or framed certificate until all fees are paid. MDI is presently working on a refund policy to address what happens if a participant pays in full and then drops out of the program before he/she completes all of the coursework. The Division of Accounting is aware of how the CPM process works and will make allowances for agencies to pay the total cost in advance (providing the proper documentation was provided). In general terms, however, the Division of Accounting would also support – and favor – quarterly payments to ensure that state monies are spend wisely and to avoid refund issues if an employee resigns or leaves state servi
