As a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), you are expected to plan your professional development and keep a record of learning activities, your reflections on them and the practical effects of the lessons learned. Evidence of how learning has been applied to live assignments is sought. Learning activities can include reading, research and attendance of recognised courses as described below.

The Institute regularly surveys CPD records on a sample basis. Retention of your certification is based on producing well-documented and considered CPD Plans and Records. Full CPD records will also be requested as part of the process of upgrading from CMC to FCMC.

It is expected that a CMC maintains a rolling record of 100 professional development hours over a 3 year period. Only recognised and relevant academic, public and IMCSA courses will be considered for credit.
