CPM is offered in two ways: contract classes and co-op classes.
In a contract class, FCPM charges a flat fee for 25 people from the same agency to go through the program; this is the most economical way to send a group of people through CPM.
A co-op class is where one agency "hosts" a class, then offers those 25 seats to other agencies. Please note, the host agency can only use 15 seats in a co-op.

Most participants complete the program in 18-24 months, although some take longer. Typically, agencies schedule Levels 1-4 the first year and Levels 5-8 the second. One variable is that Level 8, our graduation regional conference, is always held in the summer.
Yes. FCPM recommends strongly that the levels be taken in order, as the curriculum builds upon the previous class. In very rare cases we have allowed participants to start with Level 2, then make-up Level 1.
Although FCPM expects you to attend all class sessions, we realize that some absences are unavoidable. Therefore, you are allowed to miss a half day of any four-day level without having to make up the class. If you miss a full day, or more, you have to make up the day(s). The National CPM Consortium requires participants to put in 300 contact hours, so CPM instructors take attendance each morning and afternoon. Participants who need to make up missed days can attend other CPM classes, provided space is available.
Yes, if you miss the complete level. However, if you attend at least one full day of a contract class that your agency has paid for, then you can attend make-up classes without paying an additional fee.
Contracting agencies are given 25 spaces for each class, but there is sometimes room for a few outside students. FCPM also offers a zoom only option.
