Workshops
To satisfy the workshop requirements for certification
purposes, an educational program must consist of at least
six hours of instruction (excluding meals and breaks)
covering one club-specific topic, and must include an
examination or other assessment of learning at the
conclusion of the program. If the program is not from the
list of CMI-approved workshops (found in the CMAA Guide
to Speakers and Workshops online at
www.cmaa.org/SpeakersGuide.aspx ), advance approval is
required to qualify as a workshop.
Other educational programs that are considered as
workshops for certification purposes include CMAA Wine
Society workshops, Mid-Management Conferences,
Leadership/Legislative Conferences, the CCM Review
Course, the Educational Institute Certified Hospitality
Educator workshop, all BMI programs not required for
certification and the CMAA World Conference (when over
and above the one required Conference). All workshops,
regardless of length, will count as one workshop.
