PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Professional Grounds Management Society's (PGMS®) Certified Grounds Manager (CGM®) program has been the premiere program of its type for more than 40 years. An extensive two-part process, Part One, the Application Exam, is a multiple choice and true/false exam covering multiple facets of grounds management. Part Two, the Professional Grounds Manager Evaluation (PGME), is an extensive portfolio completed by the Candidate in nine specific areas including Turf Management, Budgets and Finance, and Irrigation. For areas that a Candidate may not actively manage, the PGME aids in learning the complexities and technical aspects, which in turn allows for successful hiring and supervision of a project. Taking approximately a year to complete, the PGME serves as a working document for both the Candidate and their organization.
