THE PURPOSE of NPMA Certification is to recognize property managers with the essential knowledge and skills associated with each certification level, validate their professional expertise, and to enhance professional stature.

NPMA certification demonstrates knowledge of professional standards and a commitment to individual performance.

Three levels of certification are available:

The CPPM® level certification is advanced, intended for those who have a CPPA® certification, at least 6 years of experience in the property profession, and at least 4 years of managerial experience.

 

All Property Certification candidates start at the CPPS® level and progress to CPPA® and CPPM® levels.
