Executive Designation Requirements

The Process

1. Apply for the Executive CMB program by emailing your resume or CV to awilley@mortgagebankers.org.

Note: To become an Executive CMB candidate, you must have thirteen years professional experience in the real estate finance industry and have achieved a senior management position with an MBA member company.

Program Fees
Total cost for the executive CMB program, including all exams, certificates and test materials is $2,500.

2. Provide documentation. Please provide CampusMBA with the following documents:

• A copy of your current resume and bio
• Name of your CMB mentor (if you do not have a sponsor in mind, CampusMBA staff will match you with a CMB)
• Picture for graduation purposes

3. Prepare. Once you have been accepted, you may register for a CMB prep course which will help you familiarize yourself with the topics covered on the exams. Remember, the exams are based upon the knowledge you have gained throughout your entire career. Your professional experience and interaction with other professionals in the industry is the best preparation for taking these exams.

4. Meet with your mentor. If you do not know a CMB designee, we will match you with someone to help you prepare for the exam. Their role is to answer any questions you have related to the topics covered on the exam and help you prepare for both the written and oral exam phases. Your CMB mentor must sign the CampusMBA Sponsorship Agreement, which states that he or she agrees to fulfill all of the requirements of being a CMB mentor.

5. Set your written exam date. The written exam is sent to your office to complete. We will send it to someone who will act as your proctor, usually someone within your human resources department, or a senior officer of your firm. You should allocate six hours to complete the exam. You will need to register for the Executive CMB Exam.

6. Complete the oral exam. Once you pass your written exam, you participate in a one-hour oral exam. These interviews are conducted by CMB designees.

7. Graduate. Once you complete these steps, you are officially a CMB designee. You will receive your official plaque at the CMB Graduation Ceremony and Reception, which is held at MBA's Annual Convention each year.

8. Be Recognized. All CMB graduates will be recognized at the Opening General Session at the convention. Your photograph will be displayed and you will be asked to stand and be acknowledged.
