The CMPC® exam is offered at Scantron test centers in the United States and Canada as well as via live-online proctored testing worldwide. Approved exam takers may select their preferred testing modality at time of registration.
New applicants must have their application approved by the Certification Council before they are eligible to sit for the exam. Once your new CMPC® application has been approved and eligibility to sit for the exam has been assigned by AASP staff, candidates will need to follow the instructions received via email from Scantron to schedule their exam date and set up their candidate account.
Recertification candidates and new candidates eligible to retest can submit payment here. (There is a 90-day waiting period for retakes.)
The CMPC® certification examination was developed by a diverse group of subject matter experts in partnership with test development experts in a manner consistent with generally accepted psychometric principles and best practices for certification exam development. The initial Job Task Analysis (JTA) identified and weighted six Task Domains (listed below) and component tasks that provided the foundation for the exam. A subsequent revision of the JTA retained the original six weighted Task Domains (and associated tasks) and resulted in revised Test Specifications that include 15 Knowledge Groups weighted within each domain. The full JTA can be accessed here.
The CMPC® exam is 115 multiple-choice items. Applicants have 90 minutes of seat time to complete the exam. Topics covered are:
