‘The Certified Marina Professional 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 work as a lead up to the CMP application to deliver a fundamental global overview of marina management best practise, and to open the door to invaluable peer to peer networking opportunities. I would strongly encourage anyone looking to further their career to start the process by reading the relevant material and enrolling in an IMM course.’
