The ICMA has implemented a candidate E-Mail Exchange to help ICMA candidates prepare for the CMA and CFM exams. The purpose of this e-mail exchange is to provide a forum for CMA and CFM candidates to ask questions and motivate each other to take and pass the exams. Discussion about actual exam questions is prohibited, but an open discussion of the topics covered on the content specification is encouraged. Certification Forum Forums or message boards are similar to email exchanges except that members of the forum do not receive email messages. Instead, the participants visit the forum and check the topics, reading and responding to messages posted on the message board that interest them.
Forums have the advantage of carrying the messages long after the messages are first posted.
For those who do not like to be interrupted by emails, a forum is a good alternative.
