- Participants complete 12 courses to obtain the Certified Public Manager certificate.
- Participants may start with any course except the capstone which is designed to be completed at the end of the program.
- Participants may complete the coursework in 12 consecutive months or may skip months and complete the program at a slower pace. All requirements for the certificate must be completed within three years. There is one course offered each month.
- Each course consists of 25 hours of instruction and student preparation time. Courses are designed as two-day modules, with the first day being face-to-face and the second online (the online is the equivalent of one face-to-face day of instruction).
- The cost of each course is $300.
- Participants may choose to complete the Rocky Mountain Leadership Program or the Denver Community Leadership Forum (DCLF) as part of the CPM curriculum. The Rocky program or DCLF counts as four leadership courses towards the CPM certificate (i.e. Rocky or DCLF participants skip three CPM courses, but may not skip the capstone course).
- Participants who complete the CPM program are eligible to receive six graduate credit hours toward the Master of Public Administration degree or the Master of Criminal Justice degree at the UCD School of Public Affairs.
- Participants who have earned a MPA degree from the UCD School of Public Affairs (or another NASPAA accredited program) may count four MPA courses toward the required 12 classes needed to earn the CPM certificate.
- The CPM program is recognized by the Veterans Administration as reimbursable training for those qualified to receive that benefit. Please contact us for more information.
