Questions about content or the Education Program and Standards?
Call Capt. Jeff Monroe, (207)741-7000 or email at Jeffrey.monroe@iampe.org
CAN’T DO THE ENTIRE PROGRAM IN ONE SHOT? You can take the management program in two phases, MPM/IMPM first two days, MPE/IMPE second two days.
Certifications come with each section, Academic Credits are awarded after completing the Executive Management Program. We recommend doing the 36 hour program before taking Continuing Education because that 16 hour program builds on the content of the Executive Management Program
