Your professional pathway
Your Path to Chartered Associate Manager
A step-by-step guide to CAM registration, learning, recognition and professional progression.
Know what to do next, when to do it and how each step moves you towards recognised Chartered Associate Manager standing.
The recommended route
Register early, learn with purpose and build your evidence as you progress.
Registration is possible before, during or after AMP. Registering before AMP is recommended because accepted candidates receive the 12.5% course discount once the applicable fees are paid and can organise their learning around a clear professional goal.

Flexible timing. One final standard.
CAM registration creates candidate status and access to the applicable discount. It does not confer the designation or permission to use the CAM post-nominal. Final recognition follows completion of every learning, evidence, ethics and review requirement.

Complete ethics and assemble evidence.

Candidate status versus CAM standing
CAM Candidate: registered and progressing through the requirements; eligible for the candidate discount after acceptance and payment. Chartered Associate Manager: formally approved after completing all requirements; entitled to use CAM and the recognised designation.
Maintain your standing
- Keep Professional Membership and annual fees current.
- Meet continuing-development requirements.
- Uphold the MMI professional ethics standard.
Your next designation
CAM establishes recognised professional standing. As your education, experience and applied judgement deepen, progress towards CPM—MMI’s principal professional designation.
