CPSM Certification

SMPS Arizona offers a members-only training program to prepare eligible members to take the CPSM exam and to introduce newer members to the SMPS Domains of Practice. Every other week over the 16-week course, knowledgeable CPSM-accredited instructors will provide an in-depth look at Domains 1-6, which cover marketing research, marketing planning, client and business development, SOQs and proposals, promotional activity, and information, resource and organizational management.

The CPSM Bootcamp begins with an introductory session to explain expectations, the schedule, homework assignments, study materials, etc., and the last week serves as a final review and summary of the program.

Note that taking the test is not required. If you’re not yet eligible or interested in attaining your CPSM, these sessions are still a great way to increase your knowledge in these topics – and current CPSMs can earn CEUs!
