CLICK HERECertified Professional Manufacturers' Representative (CPMR) for Rep Firm OwnersThe Certified Professional Manufacturers' Representative (CPMR) is for anyone providing outsourced sales functions to manufacturers, regardless of industry. It is a professional designation earned by an individual, not a firm and is open to firm owners and managers. Large firm or one person operation, current or future owners or managers of independent manufacturers representatives may apply. Reps are also known as brokers, agents or outsourced sales. CPMR Candidates come from a variety of industries...from soup ingredients to nuts and bolts, and the equipment used to make or package them...they all enjoy CPMR. The CPMR curriculum provides participants with greater understanding and insight into operating a more effective firm. In all, it takes three years to complete the certification program. After completing the third year, graduates earn the right to use the distinctive CPMR designation and gain membership to the Institute for Professional Advancement (IPA), MRERF’s educational subsidiary. Each year of CPMR builds on the previous year’s curriculum. To encourage continued professional growth and life-long learning, maintenance of certification criteria must be met in order to retain the CPMR designation. The criteria reflect requirements of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training and are consistent with standards recognized for all certified professionals including the fields of law, medicine and accounting. The program is administered by MRERF (Manufacturers’ Representative Educational Research Foundation). For more details and how to apply visit CPMR.
