The CCM Exam
Once you have completed the eligibility requirements, you are ready to prepare and sit for the CCM exam.
To become a CCM you must pass the exam. To pass the exam, candidates must have an overall score of 70% or higher and a score of 50% or higher for each of the ten parts of the exam. The National Office will contact you with the results of your exam.
The CCM exam is offered on specific dates through the use of a proctor at a college/university testing center or following the Joe Perdue Certification Review Course.
CCM candidates who wish to take the CCM exam at a local college or university should make the initial arrangements for a proctor at any college or university convenient to their home or club. Most schools have a testing center or an office of continuing education at which the exam can be administered. Visit the National College Testing Association website to locate a testing center near you.
There are two basic methods for preparing for the CCM exam; self-study or attending the Joe Perdue Certification Review Course.
In preparing for the exam using the self-study method, you should use the 3rd Edition of Contemporary Club Management. You can access the book through the CMAA website. Once you have logged in, you can find the link for the book under the Students tab on the homepage. You should also study from your notes taken during the BMIs. Be sure to concentrate on the areas that are personally your weakest.
The Joe Perdue Certification Review Course is offered bi-annually every April and November. This course is held at Georgia State University in Atlanta.
The exam is computer-based exam. It consists of 400 multi-choice questions covering each competency area.
