DENVER, Colorado November 1, 2024 – IpX, a global leader in enterprise transformation and training, is excited to announce the rebranding of its CM2 training certification levels. They will now be as follows:
● CM2-BASE Prerequisite
● CM2-CORE Certification
● CM2-PRO Certification
● CM2-Expert Certification
● CM2-Partner Certification
Please visit https://ipxhq.com/certifications for more details about each of the above levels.
Rebranding Goals and Objectives:
(1) Expansion and Diversification
To better serve diverse roles within organizations, we are introducing the BASE level CM2 pre-certification comprising courses CM2-01 through CM2-04. This precertification is ideal for individuals in roles that support change and configuration management processes, but who do not require full CM2-CORE certification. CM2-BASE is a more accessible CM2-knowledge entry point, making it ideal for those new to the field or in roles that support core CM2 functions.
(2) Academic Alignment
To better align with our academic partners, including Fort Hays State University (FHSU), we are renaming our certifications to resonate more effectively within academic settings. The new names, CM2-CORE and CM2-PRO, replace the previous “C” and “P” designations. The addition of the BASE pre-certification is particularly suited for undergraduate programs, offering shorter, targeted content appropriate for students who may not need more in-depth knowledge at this point in their academic career. Meanwhile, the CM2-CORE Certification will remain the standard for graduate students and those employed in core CM2 roles within industry.
CM2-CORE (comprising courses CM2-01 through CM2-06) and CM2-PRO (comprising courses CM2-01 through CM2-09) certified individuals can apply for collegiate-level credits as part of an existing degree program at FHSU. FHSU also offers CEUs for both CM2-CORE and CM2-PRO certifications.
(3) Global Reach and Recognition
Our rebranding efforts extend to acknowledging our global trainers and partners. By including additional certification levels, CM2-Expert and CM2-Partner, we provide a comprehensive path for professional growth and progression worldwide. This initiative underscores our commitment to

fostering a global community of experts equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive enterprise transformation.
The CM2-Expert certification is designed for CM2-PRO certified individuals working within a business environment who are authorized to train their colleagues in CM2 methodologies. This level ensures that CM2 best practices are effectively disseminated within their respective organizations.
The CM2-Partner certification is awarded to CM2-PRO certificate holders who aspire to become IpX global partners and who satisfy its associated requirements. CM2-Partners are eligible to establish their own IpX-approved CM2 training companies, promoting CM2 best practices and associated content and services on a broader scale.
