RCM Requirements & Application
The Registered Condominium Manager (RCM ® ) designation is the industry’s leading professional designation, first awarded in 1984. The RCM is NOT the same as a General Licence, which is issued by the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO). While some of the General Licence and RCM criteria are similar, the RCM is a voluntary professional designation which exceeds minimum licensing requirements and represents the gold standard in condominium management. Holders of the RCM are committed to excellence and continuous learning to be the best manager they can be.
In 2023 ACMO introduced new RCM requirements to better align with the CMRAO’s Condominium Management Certificate Program and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program. For more information on the evolution of the RCM requirements follow this link.
Those wishing to achieve their RCM must meet the following criteria:
- Must successfully complete five ACMO Certificate Courses with a passing grade of 80% inclusive of 2 mandatory courses (“Advanced Ethics in Condominium Management” and “Advanced Communication and Conflict Management for Condominium Managers”) and three elective courses in any topic;
OR . Must have achieved an overall grade of at least 75% on the RCM Exam (Note: Effective February 2024 the RCM exam is no longer available).
- Must hold a General Licence issued by CMRAO.
- Must have at least three (3) consecutive years of experience in condominium property management with primary responsibility for a condominium while completing the required tasks as outlined on the New RCM Designation Form.
- Must have two sponsors willing to attest that you have met the work experience requirements.
- Be an Affiliate Member of ACMO.
