The number of candidates approved for testing may not be completely representative of the total number of candidates who tested in the calendar year, as a candidate may apply in one year but choose to wait up to a year to take the exam. Total CMCAs represents the total amount of certifications awarded, including those CMCAs who have retired or no longer practicing community association management.
