University Canada West (UCW) now allows its Master of Business Administration (MBA) students to pursue the Consulting elective area to earn the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation.
This is possible through the new partnership with the Canadian Association of Management Consultants (CMC-Canada), a group with more than 2,000 members who advocate for the CMC designation, advancing the profession, and delivering the benefits of these efforts to the client community.
Key Takeaways:
- UCW entered a new partnership with the Canadian Association of Management Consultants (CMC-Canada).
- By completing the Consulting elective, MBA students at UCW can now earn the title of Certified Management Consultant (CMC).
- Many advantages come with the CMC accreditation, including international recognition, increased professionalism, new industry connections, and more.
By completing the three courses in the Consulting optional area, students can complete the educational requirements for acquiring a CMC designation after graduation.
Students can then be pushed through the CMC designation process considerably more quickly, putting them ahead of students who do not have this advantage.
As students near graduation, they can engage with CMC-Canada to explore their unique route, confident in the knowledge that they are well on their way to earning the CMC, the only globally recognized designation for management consultants.
The CMC designation comes with many benefits such as global recognition, increased demand for skills and consulting, added professionalism, new industry connections, and more.
In the workplace, community, and with clients, the designation provides management consultants with credibility and acknowledgment of professional status and competency.
According to Dr. Stephanie Chu, Interim Vice President Academic at UCW, the institution is pleased to collaborate with CMC-Canada to offer students a clear path to earning a CMC qualification.
Students who complete the CMC-qualifying courses at UCW also receive a free student membership, which grants them access to the CMC-Canada community, speakers, student rates for professional development events, and potential career mentors, among many other benefits.
