CPSM study group

Have an interest in becoming a Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM)?

SMPS Pacific Region Chapters have joined forces to host a dynamic Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) study program! We offer two study group cohorts each year to prepare for the two CPSM testing windows in March and September and invite you to join the September 2024 Cohort!

We will host a Kick-Off Session on April 17, 2024 to prepare you for the months ahead and provide you with the opportunity to meet your fellow study-group peers. Here's a few things to expect from the group after the official kick-off:
  • Study group committee members host seven virtual discussions to review each domain—providing participants with an overview of key terms and concepts within the CPSM Markendium curriculum.
  • Opportunities to review practice questions and play educational games.
  • Opportunity to form study buddy groups or partnerships. 
  • Access to an online learning portal for impromptu Q&A, session recordings, and additional resources, as well as opportunities to win gift cards and sitting fee reimbursements.

*To participate in the Pacific Regional CPSM Study Group, you must be an active member of SMPS. 

Taking the Exam

The examination is administered by the Professional Testing Corporation (PTC), an independent third-party and global leader in testing and assessment services. You must first submit an application and upload your college transcripts (if applicable). Your application will be reviewed, and eligible candidates will receive a scheduling authorization from PTC within two weeks.

You will receive details on scheduling your examination at Prometric Testing Center. You are responsible for booking your appointment, which are confirmed on first-come, first served basis. For more information, visit https://www.prometric.com/SMPS
