CCM Exam

Continuing education is a vital component of case management—not only does it help you stay updated on the latest information affecting your job, it directly influences your ability to provide the best client care. The Commission for Case Manager Certification’s (the Commission’s) commitment to the professional development and continuing education of case managers has led to the development of a range of products and services that help case managers earn and maintain their board-certified credentials.

Whenever I’m with a group of case managers, it’s common to get questions about the essential knowledge domains and corresponding subdomains used as the content blueprint for the exam. Where do they come from? Why do they matter? And (the most frequent question) how do I use them to study?

The Commission for Case Manager Certification® often receives inquiries from candidates requesting advice on how to get ready for the CCM® exam. We have gotten feedback from some individuals who have taken and passed the exam. Many noted that study groups were one fantastic way to prepare.

Studying in a group can help you to determine what you know—and don’t know. Joining a group will stop you from procrastinating, there’s no opportunity to pull out your phone or check your Facebook page.
