Certified Marina Manager (CMM)

Certified Marina Manager (CMM)

Overview

Achieving the internationally recognised Certified Marina Manager (CMM) designation is the assurance that your future can be both financially and professionally rewarding.

It is a major step toward international recognition as a senior marina manager, who has distinguished himself or herself as an outstanding professional.

CMM's span the globe with over 300 active CMM's worldwide. The Global Marina Institute (GMI), an educational partnership between the British Marine and Marina Industries Association (MIA), offer the CMM programme in Australia, UK and Europe.

The CMM programme is characterised by the open sharing of experiences, ideas and information. It forms a community of professionals whose networking opportunities are unmatched.

CMMs represent the elite in the marina and recreational boating industry. They value true personal and professional excellence and strive to maintain the highest levels of ethical and moral conduct in their commitment to the marina industry.

CMMs have a deeply-rooted respect for the environment and recognise their role in keeping it safe for boaters and the communities that support them. CMMs are marina professionals who have completed an extensive training and certification process and embrace the continuance of education and training for themselves and those who work within the marina industry. Marina owners and investors see CMMs as being qualified, professional, and committed to a career within the marina industry.

CMMs are recognised as being most up-to-date in the latest procedures, techniques, industry regulations, and requirements. CMMs have one of the tightest professional networks in the world and regularly share tips and information with one another, ensuring that each is up to speed with the latest technologies, processes, and regulations. The knowledge a CMM receives through this network makes him/her a highly qualified, respected, and able manage

To become a CMM is an application process only.

Tony Browne CMM

“The Certified Marina Managers accreditation employs a rigorous set of criteria and a robust application process that ensures candidates have met the high standards required. This results in a very credible accreditation which is immediately recognisable across the industry, providing enhanced employment and career progression opportunities.

The IMM and AMM courses as a lead up to the CMM application not only deliver a fundamental global overview of marina management best practice, but also open the door to invaluable peer to peer networking opportunities.

I would strongly encourage anyone looking at furthering their career to start the process by reading the relevant material and enrolling in an IMM course.”

 

Andy Savill, CMM
(Marina Manager, JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa in Dubai)

“A few years after completing my IMM & AMM I achieved my Certified Marina Manager which was a great accomplishment and allowed me to position myself in my chosen career industry. The IMM & AMM courses offer a great 360 degree perspective into the foundations for a safe, environment friendly and financially rewarding marina operation. One of the best points of these courses are the networking benefits and the strong working relationships with other marina operators.

The rigorous application process for the CMM allows your proven achievements to be on display and opens them up to criticism or merit depending on your level. The CMM ensures a very high standard across the board and allows employers and owners of marinas an element of security when sourcing the correct people to operate their marinas.”
