After more than twenty-five years, the Certified Moving Consultant (CMC) credential has come to represent a fundamental competency and adherence to ethical conduct of the sales force for the Household Goods Moving & Storage Industry. Consumers can be confident they are dealing with a knowledgeable sales consultant who is committed to providing excellent and fair service when they see the CMC logo.

The Program:
The Certified Moving Consultant program is specifically designed for sales personnel in the Household Goods Moving Industry.  Upon successfully completing the certification program and passing the examination, the Certified Moving Consultant receives a certification card and a certificate of completion to display in his or her office. CMCs also have the ability to distribute Certified Moving Consultant brochures to customers and his or her name is added to the www.moving.org web site where consumers can quickly verify the qualifications of the sales consultant they are about to hire.  CMCs pay a $125 annual renewal fee to maintain CMC status and receive complementary copies of Direction magazine AMSA’s e-newsletter, AMSA Today.  Re-certification is based on credits achieved in the two defined categories (‘Personal Growth’ and ‘Industry and Program Growth’).  A minimum of four credits from each category must be earned within each two-year period.
