Certified Management Consultant
The use of the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation is recognized and governed by law for the purpose of protecting the public interest. The CMC must abide by a stringent code of professional conduct that assures the client of expertise and qualifications appropriate to the engagement. In addition, clients have recourse through the disciplinary committee of the Institute of Certified Management Consultants of Alberta (ICMCA) to ensure that engagements are conducted in a professional and ethical manner.
The CMC designation is earned through a combination of experience, peer review, study, and examination. The credentials of a CMC are of the highest caliber and include as a minimum: an undergraduate degree from a recognized university or the equivalent experience; three years of full-time management consulting experience managing or assuming key roles in major projects; and the successful completion of a rigorous series of examinations on management and management consulting skills. Certified Management Consultants bring a wide range of technical and managerial consulting skills to a project which lead to better and longer lasting results for clients.
