Obtaining CMR Certification

PROGRAM APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION

CPM^® Application Policies:

Certification in Pharmaceutical Management ^® candidates must submit the Online Application.

The application allows candidates to print a copy of the
Recommendation Form. The referring manager must return the referral directly to the Institute. CMR Institute requires a minimum of one company specific recommendation; sponsoring companies may require specific signatures and/or multiple references.

Please also print, read, sign and return the Policies & Honor Code Form to the Institute via mail or fax.

CPM^® Registration Policies (post enrollment):

Please register for courses online.

Please allow up to thirty (30) days for processing.

Courses can be taken in any order except for The Capstone Course , which must be completed last (please review curriculum carefully).

The Institute limits the number of courses one student may have "open" at any time to 4 courses, in an effort to keep course material up-to-date for our students and promote successful completion.

If a student does not successfully complete a course exam within one year from registration, the student will be dropped from the course. CMR Institute reminds students of course deadlines 6 and 3 months prior to expiration.

Advanced Placement:

Students who believe they are already qualified in a subject area may challenge a course by taking the exam without registering in that course.

Students must notify CMR Institute a week before they intend to take the examination so that CMR Institute may make that student eligible for that exam.

No course materials are sent from CMR Institute to those who wish to take an advanced placement examination. Registering in a course and receiving the course materials will eliminate candidates from eligibility for advanced placement in that specific course.

Credits toward certification will be awarded for up to 3 courses in which the CMR Institute exam is passed.

Failure of an advanced placement examination is recorded on transcripts. If the AP exam is failed, the student must register in that course.

For a student who pays fees directly to the Institute, payment in full must be received prior to posting the exam to the website.

No Advanced Placement will be considered for Field Sales Management or The Capstone Course.

Transferring Credits from CMR ^® Certification Program:

Students who have taken some of the required courses while enrolled in the CMR Certification Program may be able to transfer those credits to the Certification in Pharmaceutical Management.

The course must have been completed at 80% or higher.

The course must have been completed within 5 years of the date of application into the Certification in Pharmaceutical Management.

CMR Institute will evaluate the CMR Certification transcript upon application to the Certification in Pharmaceutical Management.

Payment Information:

All students should check with their sponsoring company to determine the policy regarding payment of fees. Failure to pay the correct fees when due may result in delays. CMR Institute accepts checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. For enrollment and /or course fee information please call 800.328.2615 to speak with a Program Manager, or email: program@cmrinstitute.org .

Refund Policy

The application fee is non-refundable. The course fees may be refunded if the student withdraws from a course and returns unopened materials within 30 days of receipt. There is a $25 processing fee for all refunds. All refunds are processed at the end of each month. Please allow 30 days for processing.

Returned Check Policy

There will be a $25 charge for each check returned unpaid by the bank for any reason. Students will not receive CMR Institute mailings until the balance is paid. Failure to pay the amount of the original unpaid check as well as the $25 charge (by cashier's check, money order, or credit card) within 30 days of notification may result in removal from the program.

If more than one check is returned unpaid by the bank for any reason, all future payments must be made by cashier's check, money order, or credit card.
