CPM RESOLUTION
Purpose: To provide a comprehensive,
systematic management development program that emphasizes
knowledge acquisition and skill development for public sector
managers at all organizational levels of state and local
government in Florida.
Overview: This program represents a
long-term commitment to the systematic development of the
management infrastructure in your department or agency. The
following table provides an overview of the requirements and
recommended sequence for completing the Certificate in Supervisory
Management (CSM) and the Certificate in Public Management (CPM).
This Certified Public Managers Program consists of eight levels of
training (each level is four training days each) with accompanying
reading, project, and exam requirements. Note: Participants
can reasonably complete all program requirements within 24-30
months.
Pre-selecting Participants:
Departments or agencies pre-selecting participants for each level
of CPM training experience maximum organizational benefit. By
pre-selecting participants for this program, an organization
influences and formulates t he composition, size, and quality of
its future management workforce. We encourage potential
contracting clients to discuss with us the criteria for
pre-selection and its implementation, keeping in mind the CPM
designation is a professional certification and not an academic
designation. In Florida and around the country, many individuals
with technical expertise and advanced degrees find themselves in
administrative positions needing assistance with their management
related responsibilities. The unders tanding and fulfillment of
these responsibilities are primary thrusts of the CPM program.
Costs: FCPM offers a contracting
agency option that includes the arrangement of the meeting site,
the scheduling of the trainer, and the provision of all in-class
program materials for each level of the program. Basic costs for
contracting this management development program are as follows:
Contracting Agency Option:
The contracting agency option price for each level is $5,050.
This represents $202 per person for four days of training. This
cost breaks down to $50.50 per participant per day.
Note: The FCPM contract cost
formula (billed at a fixed price of $5,050 per level) covers
costs for up to 25 participants and not $50.50 per participant
per day. For more than 25 participants, we charge $202 per
person. Additional note: to enhance participant learning and
curriculum design, we do not enroll more than 30 participants in
any level.
Note: The agency pays for the
travel expenses of a trainer when a program delivery is outside
Tallahassee. These expenses include, but are not limited to the
following: transportation, parking, lodging, and daily meal per
diem. Also, the participant or agency pays for his or her travel
expenses related to out of Tallahassee programs and for books
associated with outside readings.
Open
Enrollment Option:
The Florida Center for Public Management offers open enrollment
courses around the state. The open enrollment option is not a
substitute for contracting a systematic management development
program. Its purpose is two-fold:
- To help individuals obtain the
CPM certification by offering levels of training not currently
offered by their contracting agency or organization.
- To help individuals obtain the
CPM designation who work for an agency or organization that
has not contracted for the CPM program.
The open enrollment charge per
participant is $85 per day or $340 per level. Note: The price of
open enrollment is nearly 32% more than the price of
contracting. Again, we encourage contracting CPM training as a
management development program and not just a means for
certification.
The National CPM Consortium leads the nation
in the development of Certified Public Managers. The FCPM Program,
a National CPM Consortium member, is a preferred management
development program by Governor and Cabinet Resolution for the
State of Florida. I n addition to State level participation, many
local government managers enroll and complete the CPM Program.
Florida actively encourages the participation of state agencies in
the development of government managers in order to enhance the
quality and productivity of services delivered to its citizens.
