The NVCPM Program is currently offered as cohorts, in consecutive months in Southern Nevada (Las Vegas) and Northern Nevada (Carson City). A cohort format is one in which participants attend as a group, starting and finishing a program together.
The NVCPM Program consists of several classroom sessions varying in length from 1 to 5 days over an 18-month period. During the program, participants may also be assigned several short application projects that will be completed outside the classroom sessions.
A Capstone Project and the Mandatory Supervisory Class Series must also be completed successfully for the participant to be awarded the Certified Public Manager (CPM) designation.
