"I thought the CPM program was a great educational experience.  It is totally focused on government and serving the public.  All of the instructors are professionals in their respective fields and actually lived the experience, not just studied it.  For example, when we studied politics a former council member from Fountain Hills taught the class.  Another example is, the ethics class was taught by a Phoenix Police Commander who focused on ethics for public officials and police officers.  All of our scenarios were real life.

The learning experience is on the level of a master's program when it comes to the knowledge transferred, the discussions, and presentations required to complete the program.  I was not only impressed by the program, I was very impressed with the participants in the class.  The CPM program is a great educational opportunity.”

“I decided to join the CPM program because I was relatively new to city government, and I had heard from previous graduates that this would be a good professional growth opportunity for me.  The instructors, who work for various governmental agencies, brought a broad, global span of information to the program.  This program was an incredible stepping stone in my career.  The knowledge I gained from the program helped me to advance in my career.”
