The CAMICB Board of Commissioners approved a new continuing education policy for individuals seeking CMCA recertification.  The policy is as follows:

CMCA recertification requires the completion of 16 hours of continuing education within a two-year certification period.  Current CAMICB policy states credit hours may be earned only for education that meets either of the following criteria:

• It pertains to community association operations or management
• It contributes to the professional development of the CMCA

 Further continuing education credit specifications include:

• Educational courses are offered by approved course providers.
• One half of the continuing education credits may be obtained through in-house training courses.
• Local law seminars and local college or university courses pertaining to accounting, business practices, computers, or foreign language will count toward the continuing education requirement
• Courses related to buying and selling real estate are not acceptable.
• Self-study credit must be pre-approved by CAMICB and is limited to no more than four hours every two years.
• Teaching a course related to community association management can qualify for credit.
• Publishing an article in a regional or national community association publication may qualify for credit.
• One hour of credit equals one hour attended.
• Credit for a course may only be submitted one time per recertification cycle.
• Online learning must be interactive.  Interactive coursework is defined as requiring proof of participation.
