How does NAMSS Membership Affect NAMSS CPCS/CPMSM Certification?

NAMSS Membership and CPCS/CPMSM Certification are two separate programs offered by NAMSS. To become certified with NAMSS, you do not need to become a member (though there is a significant discount on the certification fees). After you become certified as a CPCS or CPMSM, you do not automatically become a NAMSS member. Likewise, NAMSS members do not automatically qualify to become certified. Many NAMSS CPCS/CPMSM certificants decide not to become members, and many NAMSS members never become certified. Visit the Certification section of the website to read more about NAMSS Certifications.
