CMA Category-Manager : Certified Professional Category Manager (CPCM)

The CMA Certified Professional Category Manager (CPCM) exam (code: Category-Manager) is the official CMA exam that leads to the Certified Professional Category Manager (CPCM) certification. It sits at the Professional / Advanced level of the CMA certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as Certified Professional Category Analyst (CPCA), Certified Professional Strategic Advisor (CPSA). Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by CMA itself, which is why the Category-Manager credential keeps showing up in job postings.

The CMA Certified Professional Category Manager (CPCM) exam gives you 90 minutes to work through 70. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Test4Cram test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

The passing score for the CMA Certified Professional Category Manager (CPCM) exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $225 USD (member), $225 + $95 one-time registration fee (non-member). Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so a timed self-assessment with Test4Cram practice questions about a week before your exam date is a cheap way to confirm you are scoring comfortably above 70%.

According to CMA, the following applies: Must pass CPCA exam first; recommended 3–5 years of category management experience.
