Here’s what past alumni have said:

  • The CMP study course was an excellent supplement to use alongside the reading books. I loved how it tracked my progress, had pre- and post-tests for each module. Some questions were actually very similar to the actual CMP exam.”

    Caryn Pepper, CMP, Meetings Manager, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
  • It breaks down each domain into a digestible amount of information. It made it easy for me to map out my studies by conquering one domain a week, with the last week or two to do practice exams.”

    Joana Brenckle, Senior Events Specialist, The Broad Institute
  • I had studied the materials but hadn't taken a test in years so I was really nervous about it. Reviewing the modules in the course and taking a full test was really helpful. I felt prepared to take the exam -- and passed!”

    Alyssa Barnum, Director of Conferences, America Jail Association
  • It was great and summarized the test in an engaging way. Truly could not have passed without it. ”

    Lisa Gossmann, CMP, Catering Manager, San Diego Convention Center Corporation
  • I thought that the course is a fantastic bridge to the textbook materials. It helped me prepare for the exam. I also really enjoyed the practice questions.”

    Grant Stahulak, CMP, Coordinator, Programs & Meetings, International Warehouse Logistics Association
