From 1 October 2025, the Association of Certified Professional Managers (ACPM) is updating the accreditation terms for Associative Members — The Official Representative and Registered Learning Partner.
The main changes relate to clearer and more structured accreditation criteria and membership conditions. An annual membership fee of £120 for all learning centres is also being introduced.
