CDMS 2025 Job Task Analysis

The Commission for Case Manager Certification (CCMC®) is conducting a job task analysis study of the disability manager practice to update the content of the Certified Disability Management Specialists (CDMS®) examination. Data Recognition Corporation (DRC), an experienced provider of assessment solutions, is working with CCMC on the analysis. The study aims to validate the core knowledge areas that are important for the continued certification of disability managers. A panel of experts has proposed updates to the content outline of the CDMS examination, to become effective in 2026. We are asking the disability management community to help validate the proposed updates and provide information on any additional core knowledge content areas that should be included by completing the survey below.

New exam blueprint changes are coming soon! 

The March 2026 CDMS exam will be based on the new blueprint! 

Results for the March 2026 CDMS Exam: Candidates taking the March 2026 exam will NOT receive immediate pass/no pass notification because a standard-setting study must be conducted whenever a new exam blueprint is introduced to establish a cut score for the exam. Candidates will be notified via email that the results have been uploaded to their account within ninety (90) days of the end of the testing window. Notification regarding exam results is in alignment with certification best practices related to the implementation of a new exam blueprint.
