CPSM Certification

The Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) credential is a voluntary certification program implemented and administered by SMPS to elevate professional standards in A/E/C marketing. The CPSM designation distinguishes professional services marketers and business developers as competent practitioners in their field.

To obtain certification, candidates must meet specific experience requirements, pass the CPSM Exam, and sign a pledge to abide by the CPSM Code of Ethics.

Please visit the Certification Section of SMPS’s national Web site for details and helpful resources related to the CPSM program.
