Become a CPSM

Your marketing skills are vital to the lifeline of your firm. Every day you further your company’s growth by identifying new project opportunities, developing business relationships, and getting your company’s name in front of prospective clients. That’s your job as a professional services marketer. But did you know that SMPS offers a credential that recognizes your achieved marketing expertise?

What is the CPSM?

With Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) credentials behind your name, you demonstrate that you not only have industry experience, but you have also mastered the SMPS Domains of Practice for Professional Services Marketing. From research and planning to client development and promotional activities, the domains help you and your firm prepare for what’s now—and what’s next—in A/E/C marketing and business development.

 

Are you eligible for the CPSM exam?

Candidates must meet the following requirements:

  1. Possess a bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree plus four years of experience in marketing or business development for firms providing professional services, or
  2. Possess an associate’s degree plus six years work experience in marketing or business development for firms providing professional services, or
  3. Without a degree, have eight years of experience in marketing or business development for firms providing professional services.

 

Application and Testing Periods

SMPS offers two testing windows annually in March and September. Applications must be submitted one month prior to the testing window.

For eligibility, application, fees, resources, and more, visit the CPSM information page on SMPS HQ's website.

 

Study Resources

Now that you’ve committed to preparing for the CPSM exam, you don’t have to go it alone! SMPS North Texas created a library of study resources for chapter members, including a review curriculum to accompany the Domains of Practice, online quizzes and digital flashcards, and access to CPSM members to answer all your burning questions.
