Certified Professional Services Marketers (CPSM)

The SMPS Pacific Regional Chapters have joined forces to host a dynamic Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) Study Program—open to all SMPS members.*

We offer two study group cohorts each year to support those preparing for the March and September CPSM testing windows. Participants connect with peers and facilitators from across the country, learning from some of the industry’s most accomplished marketing professionals.

The September 2026 Cohort is just around the corner. We will host a Kick-Off Session on April 15, 2026 to prepare you for the months ahead and provide you with the opportunity to meet your fellow study-group peers.

Here's a few things to expect from the group after the official kick-off:

  • Six structured virtual sessions, each dedicated to one CPSM domain, with guided review of key terms and concepts from the Markendium
  • Two virtual study cram sessions 
  • Opportunities to form study partnerships or small peer groups
  • Access to an online learning portal featuring session recordings, Q&A support, and additional study resources
  • Opportunity to win an exam fee reimbursement

*Participation in the Pacific Regional CPSM Study Program requires active membership in SMPS.

Objective
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the Pacific Regional CPSM Study Program schedule, offerings, and expectations.
