Earning Criteria

The CACM exam specifications were developed by combining the importance, criticality, and frequency data obtained from the job task analysis. The resulting data were converted to percentages, and the percentages were used to determine the number of questions related to each domain that should appear on the multiple-choice CACM examination. The test specifications list the domains and the percentage of the test included in each domain.
Applicants may apply to become CACM certified by using the application online at cmaanet.org. Applications require information including: a resume, references for proof of general construction/design experience, or responsible-in-charge experience.
