Most CMP's will attest to the need for pre-exam preparation.

The prescribed manuals consisting of:

• CIC 8th Edition Manual
• PCMA 5th Edition Manual
• CIC International Manual 1st Edition
• APEX 2011 Guide
• Guidelines for Display Rules & Regulations

are the required study materials.

These extensive back-up manuals provide the candidate with the necessary ‘cross-over's’ between their sector expertise and those that have a significant bearing – in one form or another – on the ultimate success of the meeting / event.

For example – (1) An event manager would gather a better understanding of the audio visual tasks while (2) an audio visual manager would glean an appreciation of the overall event financial budgetary requirements.  In turn (3) an exhibition organiser may learn the intricacies of the food & beverage aspects of a meeting.

Over and above assisting with the CMP status attainment – the manuals and detailed check lists are of major benefit in improving the standard of event / meeting management for virtually all the CMP candidates and graduates.

CMP candidates are busy professionals – the benefits of being kept on-track from commencement to completion has proven invaluable.

The MICE™ Academy – which monitors and guides candidates towards the exam via a pre-planned schedule of build-up – ensures candidates are kept on-track.

As an alternative to the MICE Academy program – candidates will also be regularly reminded of deadline dates and prompted to undertake the online Q&A's available.

“I found the step by step guidance offered by the Network as well as the online Q & A’s very helpful. Specializing in the audio visual aspect of the industry it was great to get a holistic view of all other aspects” 

“Yes, everything was very professional and the CMP Network’s guidance was very useful from the application process, the online questionnaires through to the exam day.  I expected it to be a difficult and challenging course, but also knew that I would gain lots of useful information”
