The Certified Purchasing Manager (C.P.M.) is no longer available for testing and has transitioned into recertification-only status. You must have already successfully passed all four modules of the C.P.M. in order to apply and achieve the designation. Remember your exam scores expire five years from the date the earliest exam was taken or by December 31, 2014, whichever comes first.
Those already holding the C.P.M. designation may continue to apply for recertification or lifetime recertification.

Maintain Your Expertise Through C.P.M. Recertification
Current C.P.M.s are encouraged to maintain their expertise through recertification. If your C.P.M. lapses beyond the one year grace period, you will not be able to reinstate your C.P.M. designation.
