Whether you are an individual developing an initial community strategy, or a seasoned team looking to achieve even greater levels of success, CMX Training is a very smart investment and will cover everything you need to flourish.”

John Stacey III
Director of Campus Operations, Course Hero

“This course made it possible for our team to establish a vision for our community… It took us beyond the content we needed; it took us deeper than choosing a platform. The CMX course essentially showed us that community was our product, and it gave us the vocabulary to develop a flexible and sustainable strategy.”

Melissa Emler
Community Strategist, Change School

“We knew we wanted to build a community. For us the value was clear. With CMX, we learned how to do it to ensure success. The training allowed us to structure our strategy in a way that has allowed us to deploy much faster and build engagement with the first users from the start. Thanks a lot for the course, you gave us exactly that we needed to get on track, launch and manage our community!”
