Mandatory Continuing Education

 

A brief overview

 

About
Under the CIPM Association Code of Ethics (PDF), members must “maintain and improve their professional competence.” The CIPM Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) program puts this ethical obligation into practice by requiring certificate holders to engage in ongoing professional development as a condition of retaining the right to use the CIPM designation.

As a CIPM certificate holder, you have broad latitude in selecting activities to meet the requirement. From self-study research and in-house training to attending conferences and seminars, you can choose the kind of activity and the provider that best suits your continuing education needs.
