December 31, 2008 was the final day for individuals to register for the C.P.M. certification exams. This means that if you were hoping to earn the C.P.M. certification but didn’t register for the exam by now, you will never have the opportunity to earn that certification.

But while ISM (the creators of the C.P.M. certification) appears content to turn aspiring certification-holders away and to devalue the work done by the many fine people who earned the C.P.M. during the time it was most relevant, don’t fret.
