Each module is broken into sessions adapted to the Australian business operating environment .

Sessions are led by expert facilitators including Professor Geoffrey Dickson , Associate Professor of Sport Management at Latrobe University as our lead facilitator , supported by Dr David Shilbury , Professor of Sport Management and Director of Deakin Sport Network , Deakin University and Dr Jason Koenigsfeld , Senior Vice President of Professional Development at CMAA .
THE FUTURE
To enhance the value of the BMI program , GMA members will be on a pathway to obtain CMAA ’ s ‘ Certified Club Management ’ ( CCM ) which recognises the unique skills and special knowledge required of successful club management .
BMI modules along with prior learning from past qualifications and other forms of professional development accrue points , which at a certain threshold allow a CCM to be achieved .
The CCM qualification is now recognized in 31 countries throughout the world .
Details of the CCM qualification process will be advised in coming months following further consultation with industry partners and GMA members .
