E-Practice Test
The global CSM (Certified Shopping Center Manager), CMD (Certified Marketing Director), CLS (Certified Leasing
Specialist) and CDP (Certified Development, Design & Construction Professional), as well as the Senior Level CLS, CSM and CMD
designations serve to recognize professionalism, raise standards and improve shopping center industry practices. Earning any one
of these designations marks a professional as among the very best at what they do.
The designations are awarded to candidates who achieve a passing score on a comprehensive examination. The
accreditation is not a diploma representing successful completion of course work alone. It stands for competence, indeed mastery,
of one's specialization as a result both of knowledge—however obtained—and of experience, which can only be obtained on the job.
The content of the examinations leans heavily in the direction of on-the-job experience. In other words, the examinations are
predicated on application of knowledge and skill, not just an understanding of theory or mastery of isolated facts.
