• Beginning in January 2013, the National Contract Management Association will offer two versions of the Industry Certification in Contract Management (ICCM): the ICCM-Federal and the ICCM-Defense.

How will the ICCM certifications differ from their
government counterparts?
Federal employees are certified by the agency they work for. Industry employees will be certified by NCMA. In every other aspect they are identical.
12
Will every company recognize the ICCM?
• Every company will make its own decision
• Since there is no industry standard, we expect that over time the ICCM will become the industry standard
13
Will all federal agencies recognize the ICCM-D and ICCM-F as
equivalents to DAWIA and FAC-C?
• Each agency will make it’s own decision• NCMA cannot guarantee universal federal recognition
of the ICCM• We expect eventual recognition because the
requirements and standards are identical• NCMA is working continuously with DAU and FAI

Who benefits from the ICCM?
• The individual is better equipped for the job• The employer has third-party validation of
its employees qualifications• Federal agencies have the opportunity to
hire individuals who are trained to their standards
