The APBM exists to educate business professionals
in all facets of business management through examination and ongoing
education. It promotes the value of Certified Business Managers
to business and industry and ensures that all CBMs in good standing
have access to the most current business management insight available.
The APBM sponsors The Certificate in Business Management (CBM)
and the Certified Business Manager (CBM) credentials.
AMA members can earn the CBM credential by completing

Common Body of Knowledge for Business that is based on a practical
business curriculum that addresses the real needs of practitioners
in the business field. The CBM exam consists of two parts divided
into ten modules that, in turn, are divided into 154 major topics.
