Once you’re registered you need to add SSA CSSM Program to your shopping cart and enter payment information.  At any time, you can click on ‘My Courses’ to see all of the sessions you have in your account. You will need to go through all 15 session videos, one at a time, and take a quiz at the end of each session.  Once the quiz has been passed with a 70% or better, you can go onto the next session.  After all of the courses have been reviewed and quizzes passed, you will take a Final Exam and must pass this with 70% or higher to become certified.  A link to a printable certificate once the final exam has been completed. 

To keep your certification, you will need to renew every two years with 4 continuing education credits through the CSSM© site by December 1 in the renewal year. 

In the interest of maintaining the integrity of the CSSM© designation, CSSM© designees who do not renew their certification will be purged from the Registry and barred from using the SSA CSSM© designation, which is the property of the Self Storage Association.
