Management Plan Skills Assessment (MPSAXM) meets the management plan requirement for the CPM. It is one of two options for meeting the requirement. The other option is to submit and receive a passing score on the Management Plan Independent (MPLIND). Both options are designed to assess your knowledge of the concepts, technical skills, and processes involved in preparing, analyzing, and completing a property management plan following IREM standards.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that you complete the CPM education requirements before completing the management plan requirement.

The Management Plan Skills Assessment is completed in a classroom setting and includes a review of key concepts and a case study exam based on a property type of your choosing (office building, conventional apartment, or retail strip shopping center).
