The Certified Manager Program is a professional training program designed by the Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM); the world’s largest certifying organization for the management profession. It develops management skills and prepares individuals to take the CM-exams. Those who successfully complete the exams achieve the CM certification, a prestigious credential that recognizes competency and professionalism of managers worldwide.

The combination of a comprehensive curriculum and application-based assessment exams make the CM certification a reliable indicator of managerial competence and leadership potential. The CM program is the product of a comprehensive Job Task Analysis study conducted by the Institute of Certified Professional Managers (ICPM) to identify the knowledge, skills and abilities mid-level managers need to perform competently on-the-job.

The CM Program integrates management theory with the management approach of planning, leading, organizing and controlling. The Certified Manager training program is organized into three modules:

• Management Essentials
• Planning and Organizing
• Leading and Controlling

New Heroes

During this training you get access to the online platform New Heroes. You will get to work actively with some assignments from the New Heroes learning trips. You can also continue to work on your own personal strength, communication and leadership skills on your own initiative. Everything at your own pace, wherever and whenever you want. 

The Certified Manager Program is conducted in a classroom setting for 5 days for each module. The three modules are spaced weeks apart to give you the opportunity to do the module-exam after each module. When you decide not to do the official ICPM-exams you will receive the Schouten & Nelissen ‘Certified Manager’-certificate.
