Become a CAMICB-Approved CE Provider

CAMICB Continuing Education Program Update

CAMICB is excited to announce a major update to our Continuing Education (CE) process. We are moving from approving individual courses to approving course providers. This shift strengthens quality oversight, streamlines course submission, and provides organizations with a clearer, easier path for offering Continuing Education to CMCA certification-holders.

All organizations—whether new or those who had previously approved courses—must complete the “Become a CAMICB-Approved CE Course Provider” training course. This training serves as the orientation to the new program and is required before any CE can be submitted for CAMICB approval. 

If your organization had prior approved courses, you do not need to re-upload those courses in the new system. CAMICB is tracking all legacy approvals internally. If you would like to repost those courses for marketing or visibility, you are welcome to do so.

How to Become a CAMICB-Approved CE Provider

Follow these steps to apply, get approved, and begin offering continuing education to CMCA certification-holders.

Step 1: Designate a Primary Point of Contact to Become the Approved CE Provider

Select one individual within your organization to serve as the primary point of contact (POC) for the application. This person will be responsible for completing the required training, submitting the application, and, if approved, serving as the CAMICB-Approved CE Provider and ensuring ongoing compliance with CAMICB requirements.

Step 2: Complete the Required Training

The designated POC must create an account using the voucher code provided later on this webpage and complete the “Become a CAMICB-Approved CE Course Provider” training to complete the application and acknowledgement form.

For an overview of CAMICB’s CE program requirements, please review the Course Requirements for Approved CE Providers.

Step 3: Submit Application and Documentation

After completing the training, submit the application along with the signed Acknowledgement Form. CAMICB will review submissions within 30 days.

Step 4: Post Courses in the CMCA Resource Center

Once approved, CAMICB-Approved CE Providers must post all CE courses in the CMCA Resource Center using the required format and guidelines outlined in the Quick Reference Guide.

Step 5: Deliver Courses and Maintain Compliance

Courses must be delivered in accordance with CAMICB requirements. CAMICB-Approved CE Providers are responsible for tracking attendance, reporting attendance within required timelines, and providing CMCA certification-holders with proof of completion.

Designate a Primary Point of Contact to Become the Approved CE Provider

For best practices and administrative efficiency, each organization should designate one primary point of contact (POC) for educational offerings. This individual will be recognized as the Approved Provider for your organization and is responsible for oversight of all courses posted in the CMCA Resource Center, ensuring compliance with CAMICB requirements.

CAMICB recognizes that some organizations are large or operate across multiple market areas, maintain regional offices, or function through franchise structures, making oversight by a single individual impractical. In these cases, an organization may designate more than one Approved Provider to oversee courses within their respective region, division, or franchise network. Each Approved Provider is responsible for the courses submitted under their oversight and must ensure compliance with CAMICB requirements. Organizations needing more than one POC should note it in their submission when completing the Approved Provider training.

Designation as an Approved Provider does not mean the individual must serve as a presenter. Presenters may be selected according to your organization’s established process; however, the Approved Provider remains responsible for compliance, reporting, and course oversight for the courses submitted under their account.

Each Approved Provider must personally complete the required training. This requirement cannot be delegated. CAMICB verifies training completion at the individual level, and completion of the training is required to establish an Approved Provider profile. Individuals may not complete the training on behalf of another person. Submissions associated with someone who did not personally complete the training will be denied.

Complete the Required Training

Through the training course, providers will:

  • Learn CAMICB’s CE program requirements, including attendance reporting and audit expectations
  • Complete the application by submitting organizational and CE program information, including details about course delivery, instructor selection, participation tracking, and other relevant program practices
  • Acknowledge you understand and will abide by the CAMICB CE program rules and responsibilities

Completion of the training is required for CAMICB to approve your organization as a CAMICB-Approved CE Provider. Organizations that previously had approved courses may continue to offer those courses until their expiration date; however, completion of this training is required to offer any new courses under the updated program.

Organizations that do not complete the required training will not be eligible to offer courses for CE credit.

Post Courses in the CMCA Resource Center

Once approved, you will be responsible for posting all CE courses offered by your organization in the CMCA Resource Center using the same login credentials used to complete the training.

LOGIN HERE

All course postings must be accurate, complete, and consistent with CAMICB requirements. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide for step-by-step instructions on posting courses correctly. This includes providing:

  • Clear and searchable course descriptions
  • A fixed course duration and corresponding credit hours
  • Location
  • Delivery method (in-person, virtual, or on-demand)
  • Course date(s) or scheduling details
  • Full company name and contact information

Courses may not be posted with variable time ranges (e.g., “90–120 minutes”). Each course must have a clearly defined instructional time and corresponding credit value.

Providers are no longer required to upload presentations, instructor bios, or supporting documents. However, all posted courses must meet CAMICB’s eligibility and content standards.

Failure to follow posting requirements may result in removal of courses or loss of Approved Provider status.

Deliver Courses and Maintain Compliance

Approved providers must deliver courses in accordance with CAMICB requirements and maintain ongoing compliance for all CE offerings.

This includes:

  • Delivering courses as approved and described in the course posting
  • Tracking and verifying participant attendance
  • Reporting attendance within 45 days of each course administration
  • Providing participants with proof of completion (certificate or equivalent documentation)

Attendance rosters must be submitted in Excel format to continuingeducation@camicb.org.

Providers are not required to maintain long-term CE records for CMCA certification-holders, but it is recommended in case participants request records at a later date. Certification-holders are ultimately responsible for retaining their own certificates for renewal and audit purposes.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in loss of Approved CE Provider status.

Course Requirements for Approved CE Providers

Once approved, all courses must meet CAMICB’s requirements outlined below.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in course removal or loss of Approved CE Provider status.

All approved CE course providers and their courses must comply with the following:

Minimum Course Length

Courses must provide a minimum of one hour of educational content. After the first hour, courses may be offered and approved in 30-minute increments.

Relevance to Community Association Management

Courses must:
  • Directly pertain to community association operations (not property management), and
  • Advance the professional development of the CMCA certification-holder.
Courses that do not meaningfully contribute to the knowledge, skills, or performance of community association managers will not be approved.

No Promotional Content or Solicitation

  • Educational content slides may not include organizational logos or promotional material.
  • Logos are permitted only on opening and closing slides.
  • Copyright notices without logos are acceptable on content slides.
  • No direct solicitation, sales activity, or promotion may occur during the educational portion of the course. Sponsorship acknowledgment is permitted before or after the instructional content.

Terminology

Use “community association manager” rather than “property manager” in all educational materials. These roles differ, and CAMICB requires accurate terminology. You can learn more about the differences between these two positions in the short blog post here.

Attendance Tracking

Providers must:
  • Track and record attendance for each course, whether delivered in person or online.
  • Must submit an attendance roster to CAMICB within 45 days of each program administration.
  • Issue completion certificates to participants.
