Certified Public Manager Program

What Our Graduates Are Saying About Us

"I rate the quality of instructors, assignments, reading materials, interactive learning environments, and relevance of the CPM program an A+. I also give the CPM program an A+ for value to me as a professional and to my agency. I am proud to be a graduate."

"The instruction we received was applied so inspirationally that it became very personal. Each class was taught with an enormous amount of conviction and enthusiasm. Every agency needs a wake-up call to freshen the staff, encourage creativity, and remind staff that they are a viable part of this big picture. Your staff showed this eloquently."

"The Kansas Certified Public Manager program was a resource rich in the nuts and bolts of management principles and practice, legislative process, civil service design and structure, and other essential organizational behavior components."
