What is a AMS designation?
The AMS designation is the second tier of CAI’s Pyramid of Professionalism for community association managers. It builds upon the CMCA’s fundamental knowledge with requirements for added education and verified experience in the field. To become an AMS designee, a candidate must earn and maintain the CMCA certification, successfully complete 16 hours of course work in CAI’s Professional Management Development Program and demonstrate two years of professional management experience. An Association Management Specialist must maintain a professional level of membership in CAI, comply with the CAI Professional Code of Ethics and fulfill continuing education requirements by completing 24 hours of advanced-level courses every three years.
