Competency Credits and Transfer Credits

We realize that what you’ve learned on the job or at other educational institutions is valuable. Therefore, we offer options for obtaining credit for that experience.

Designation Programs

Students enrolled in the RPA® designation, FMA® designation, or SMA® designation programs are eligible to apply for competency credits through two methods:

  • Administrative Competency - An application process by which a student is given credit for specific courses from accredited colleges and universities, or from specific professional credentials, including the CCIM, CPM, CSM, PE, SIOR, and more. To access applications, please click below:
  • Competency by Review - Allows students to earn credit based on their individual academic and professional experiences. Please contact BOMI International for specific course application(s).

Unless otherwise noted, students may receive competency credit for a maximum of:

  • Three courses in the RPA® desgination and FMA® designation programs
  • Two courses in the SMT® designation program
  • One SMA® designation course
