If you're looking for a complete marketing skill set and the credentials to match, work towards the CMA Certified Marketing Specialist designation. In addition, CMA also offers an Advanced Marketing Management course designed specifically for marketing managers.

CMA holds over 20 educational seminars throughout the year. Seminars are targeted to the learning needs of new, intermediate, and seasoned marketers, including senior level marketers whose scope of responsibilities have broadened to include marketing disciplines new to them.

Through In-House Training, CMA can design, develop, and deliver classes and programs for the unique training needs of your business. Custom training is a cost-effective, highly targeted way to increase organizational effectiveness and enhance job skills and performance.

In addition to our course offerings, CMA holds a series of one-day Conferences throughout the year, each one specifically targeting a segment of the marketing industry.  Our series of Roundtable and breakfast events are designed to keep marketers up to speed on the latest hot topics, trends and issues.  Along with our webinar series, these interactive sessions are a great way to keep your organization committed to enhancing professional development in marketing.

The CMA Awards have been a symbol of marketing excellence for almost 40 years.  Celebrating creative, strategy and results, the CMA Awards is the biggest and most prestigious marketing awards event in Canada.  Deadlines for entries are in June and July each year and awards are presented at the CMA Awards Gala, held in November.

The CMA Summit (formerly the CMA National Convention) is held each spring and is Canada's largest professional development event for marketers.  Every year, marketers from across Canada gain a competitive advantage by participating in an amazing two-day program filled with actionable learning and outstanding networking opportunities.
