Confidently pass your exam and become a Certified Meeting Professional
Now, more than ever, it's time to focus on YOU and level up what you have to offer.
If you're in the events industry, you know the CMP designation is a badge of excellence and tells the world that you have what it takes to plan an event.
Don't know where to start? Feeling overwhelmed, unorganized or scared?
When implemented correctly, you'll be confident, educated, and excited about passing your CMP exam.
Let's talk about who this is really for...
You want big results and the confidence to know you will only take this exam once
You're willing to put in the work if someone can set up the framework for you
You know you have to start believing in yourself and putting yourself first
You're willing to get outside of your comfort zone and take charge of your future now
I see you and I've got you!
I will give you the tools, inspiration, and confidence to move forward one small step at a time.
When I took the CMP exam back in 2016, I felt alone and overwhelmed trying to learn everything on my own. I joined a study group through MPI but still felt like I needed something more. Since I travel for work, I missed a few in-person sessions and wished there was an affordable online resource to help bridge the gap so I didn't feel behind.
I was inspired to create something for you where you would feel confident and know that you are studying all the right material on your time, your schedule, and in a fun and easy-to-understand way.
Now, I'm dedicated to helping you through this process so you never have to feel alone, overwhelmed, or like you aren't smart enough to pass the exam.
Imagine yourself at the end of the year
Do you know what it feels like to say you’re going to do something and actually DO it?
Even though the reasons to become a CMP are apparent, the path to doing it successfully is not as simple. Even with the best intentions, most people end up paralyzed along the way, allowing themselves to abandon the process. They fall victim to the time commitment and do too much at once or cram right before the exam because they kept putting off studying.
Even if you started the process but never finished or didn't pass the exam before, I've shown you it's not a YOU problem; it was a PROCESS problem. I have your back this time, and I can help you along the way.
If you're ready to finally go after your dream to become a CMP once and for all, then I invite you to enroll in Pathway to Passing.

Some ?'s your fellow students asked before they got started...
Here are two books the EIC recommends using to study.
I base my PowerPoints off of the EIC 9th Edition so that is the only book required to follow along.
There's an optional course binder with PowerPoints and some swag that you will be offered at checkout.
Set your own Track-Duration: You decide
You go through the modules however you would like. You could do one module a day or one module a week; it's up to you!
If you're looking for more structure and step-by-step dates laid out to follow, then check out the 3 Tracks I created for you.
Track 1- Fast Track-Duration: 10 weeks
You’re all in and 100% committed to doing whatever it takes to get your CMP even if it means a little less Netflix and a lot more PowerPoints! This is perfect for the person who isn’t working full time and has the focus to give to daily habits of reading and studying. This is also good for students who worry about not retaining the information they have just read.
Track 2-Consistent Climber-Duration: 12 weeks
This track is for you if you’re holding down a full-time gig and studying on the side. Your CMP dream is still strong, but you want to keep your sanity and get some sleep, too! This might also be you if you have young children at home and other commitments that keep you busy over the weekends.
Track 3-Strong and Steady-Duration: 16 weeks
The Strong and Steady track is for you if you’re really strapped for time but still committed to making a big change in your life and career. Whether you’ve got a lot going on personally, professionally, or both there’s no shame in going slow and steady as you work toward a big goal! This might also be you if you have major test anxiety. Taking your time to really absorb the information makes you feel more at ease when it comes to test-taking.
You will have access to modules 1-4 right away. Once the 14 day trail period ends you will have access to the rest of the modules. When studying the material in smaller bite-sized pieces, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed, and you will retain more information. There are practice quizzes at the end of each module so you can make sure you are comfortable with the concepts before moving onto another domain.
You are never behind. This is a self-paced course for you to go through each module based on your schedule and availability. I have created tracks to help you stay focused and to help eliminate any unnecessary overwhelm. You are never behind. This is a mindset shift we will work on in the course.
Sure, the more perspectives, the better. The material will be the same; however, everyone teaches concepts differently. In Pathway to Passing, I try and make the concepts as digestible and relatable as possible. Since this is self-paced you can follow along with the study group you have already committed to and use Pathway to Passing as your online resource to compliment your in-person group.
The financial commitment for the CMP process can be costly for some. I have researched what is currently available in the marketplace and have found similar offerings ranging from $399 to $850 for 9 Domain course learning and one to two DAY crash course Bootcamps ranging from $95-$600, per Bootcamp, not including hotel and travel costs. In my research, I was not able to find anyone who offered a payment plan or a money-back guarantee. I was also not able to find a single platform that provides all of the benefits that you will receive from Pathway to Passing. I honestly feel that this program offers the best value for someone going through this process.
We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Once you learn how to time block your day and set your environment up for success, you will be amazed at how being intentional with your time makes all the difference. Also, since our modules are available on a mobile device you can plan to review the modules on the go or when you have a lunch break.
To be eligible to the CMP exam, your application must include proof of EXPERIENCE and EDUCATION.
EXPERIENCE – CHOOSE 1 OF 3 OPTIONS

Option 2: 2 years of experience and an industry degree
- Associates’s degree (or higher) in the hospitality/tourism/event management field; and
- A resume or CV with your application. The experience you include on your resume should demonstrate meeting management responsibilities or your role in contributing to the planning, execution and results of meetings
- Both the degree and the 24 months of experience must have taken place in the past five years but they do not have to be consecutive months.
Option 3: 3 years as an educational instructor
- Full-time instructor of meeting, event, exhibition, hospitality or tourism management at an educational institution or university program; and

Take that one small step forward today
This is an investment in you and your future.
You got this!
I say this a lot, but it's true. When we become adults, we don't get that much support in the form of cheerleading or reminders that we can do hard things. We doubt ourselves way too much and end up listening to the doubting voice in our head instead of the voice in our heart. I'm rooting for you, and if you can keep the focus and keep on the path, it will lead to amazing results.
I have experienced firsthand what it's like to doubt myself or put others first in front of what I wanted. If you have been in events for more than 3 years and have wanted to become a CMP, you owe it to yourself to take this risk-free plunge and start putting yourself and your dreams first.
Becoming a CMP has transformed my life and given me the confidence to know that my clients are getting the BEST when working with me. It also showed me that I was smart enough to pass an exam known for being very hard to pass the first time taking it. It's my badge of honor, and I want that for you too.
Should you choose to accept my invitation, I guarantee that finally becoming a CMP will not only change the way you plan meetings it will change who you are as a person.
Let's go on this journey together, and I will help you take that one small step to move you forward towards the better version of you!
I can't wait to celebrate with you!
