- Certificate in Supervisory Management
The Certificate in Supervisory Management (CSM) is a halfway designation, given when a student has completed Levels 1-4 of the CPM Program. Most CSM students intend to complete the CPM Program, although some agencies just send their participants through Levels 1-4.

Since 2006, FCPM has partnered with the Florida Association of Special Districts to deliver and administer the Certificate in District Management (CDM) program. This Certificate program includes a four-day intensive course, followed by a comprehensive project to improve services in one's Special District.
Graduates of these programs receive a certificate issued by Florida State University.
