It was back in 1984 that the first class of seventeen RCMs graduated with their hard-earned Registered Condominium Manager designation. Now, in 2018, all condominium managers across the Province of Ontario are required to hold a licence in order to provide property management services as an individual manager or as a condominium property management company. The educational courses that are required are ACMO’s four RCM courses.
ACMO and its members have been on a 40-year journey to reach this milestone. And today as we enter our 41st year as an Association, managers can look forward to being acknowledged as professionals in every sense of the word. Just like certified accountants, insurance brokers, real estate agents, social workers, teachers and engineers to name a few of this province’s regulated professions, our 1000+ registered condominium managers will be viewed as highly skilled authorities.
For some, it might take a licence that shifts the paradigm to ultimately recognize condominium managers as professionals. Hard-working RCMs, and now provincially licensed, have always known this to be true.
