What are the criteria to obtain the CPSM?
3 years full-time, professional supply management experience (nonclerical, nonsupport) with a regionally accredited1 bachelor's degree OR 5 years of supply management experience (nonclerical, nonsupport) without a degree.
Pass 3 CPSM Exams.
1 Regionally accredited means that your bachelor's degree was earned from a college or university that is recognized by one of the six U.S. accrediting organizations listed with the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Please email the Certification Department if you have questions regarding your degree.
What is considered acceptable work experience?
Full-time professional experience where supply management, procurement or supply chain is the primary job function. Clerical and support roles do not apply. Candidates can submit a Work Experience Evaluation if they are unsure if their experience qualifies. This evaluation is optional and a fee will apply. You can find the work experience review form and instructions here.

CPSM Exam scores are valid for 4 years from the date they are taken. If an exam score is more than 4 years old, the exam must be taken and passed again before applying for the CPSM.
How long is my CPSM certification valid?
The CPSM designation is valid for a 3-year period. To maintain the CPSM, recertify every 3 years with 60 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) by submitting a recertification application with proof of CEHs completed.
Individuals with a CPSM that has expired for more than a year must retake all the exams to recertify.
