WHY GET CERTIFIED? |
|
Certifications provide great benefits in establishing the baseline skills required to perform specific jobs. In the case of Configuration Management, the absence of college degrees makes CM certification credentials invaluable. Certification helps prospective employers assess the knowledge and skills of job candidates. Suppliers, contractors, service organization and customers build confidence in their CM capabilities when they require certification of all their consultants and employees. In addition, certification proves CM Professionals with a credential to support their career path and the assurance they have the right skills, knowledge, and ability to implement CM in accordance with best industry practices. And certification provides a clear path for organizations to meet the various CM requirements of standards and process initiatives. Would you put your heath in the hands of a doctor that has never been educated, trained, and lacks credentials in the medical profession? Of course not! Likewise, an organization should never endure the risk of putting their most valuable information and assets in the hands of an untrained and uncertified employee. People that attend training and pursue certifications are demonstrating a level of commitment and passion to their profession. And someone that is passionate about their job is someone you can count on doing a job right. O

ABOUT CMTF |
|
| The International Society of Configuration Management (ISCM) was established in 1995. Their charter is to provide a global organization
for CM Professionals to exchange ideas, create standards and publications, and provide for a Certification Program. For two years ISCM has been gathering members from
all over the world. There are three categories of Members: Charter, Regular, and Limited. Charter Members are those individuals who helped establish ISCM. They have patiently waited for the Society to get up and running.
Regular Members pay the new yearly price of twenty dollars a year. Limited Memberships are granted to those who pass the CICM examinations. Memberships will become active when the official membership kits
are mailed in February. ISCM now has over 2,000 registered members and is ready to kick off. The delay has been caused in part by our commitment to establish an organization for CM Professionals without outside sponsors.
After years of being treated like the unwanted orphan, Configuration Management Professionals now have a place where they are wanted, and can contribute to the growth of the key process of CM.
The Society will provide members the opportunity to interact with other CM Professionals over the Internet. A Job Board, CM Magazine, Chat Room, and Library of CM knowledge are all planed for the ISCM Home Page. Yearly Conferences will be held in the US as well as other countries. |
CICM CERTIFICATION PROGRAM |
|
The Certified International Configuration Manager (CICM) Certification Program was born out of necessity. Most in the industry felt that Mil-standards would soon be replaced with good practices. With that in mind the examinations were based on ISOs and common sense. That decision proved right! Numbers alone don't tell the whole story. Everyone, including those that fail and retake the examinations, feel the tests are a valid benchmark for granting certification. You are not forced to memorize FAR clauses or Mil-standards.
ISCM has established two Levels of certification: Level I Fundamental CM and Level II Software Specific CM. The examinations are open to everyone. Grandfathering, however is closed. |
