CFMTA is a professional organization of music educators throughout Canada. In order to promote continued professional growth by our members, we are offering “The CFMTA/FCAPM Certificate of Recognition for Professional Achievement”, presented by CFMTA, to encourage members to grow as musicians, educators and mentors.

The Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations has set up a program in which those who show professional development/practice throughout the year be rewarded with a certificate. This would be renewable every two years. A fee of $20.00 to cover the administrative cost, certificate and postage would accompany the application form. These high quality certificates could be displayed in studios and the recognition used in advertising. Please note that this is a voluntary program for individual members and is in no way part of the membership process, which is handled by our provincial organizations.

The applicants for the recognition certificates will be required to complete an “Online Documentation of Professionalism”. The certificates will be issued by the CFMTA/FCAPM Secretary upon vetting by the Professional Development & Research Chair. The certificate can be renewed every two years.
