Key changes to the CPM requirements include:

To attract newly graduated real estate students and others just entering the industry to become Candidates, property management experience will not be required to become a Candidate. However, three years of qualifying property management experience will be needed to become a CPM.

There is now a required curriculum, eliminating confusion about which courses to take.

The Candidate application has been streamlined so that it is less cumbersome and the application fee has been divided between the CPM candidacy application and the CPM designation application. More Info
