How will the ICCM certifications differ from their
government counterparts?
Federal employees are certified by the agency they work for. Industry employees will be certified by NCMA. In every other aspect they are identical.

Will every company recognize the ICCM?
• Every company will make its own decision
• Since there is no industry standard, we expect that over time the ICCM will become the industry standard

Will all federal agencies recognize the ICCM-D and ICCM-F as
equivalents to DAWIA and FAC-C?
• Each agency will make it’s own decision• NCMA cannot guarantee universal federal recognition
of the ICCM• We expect eventual recognition because the
requirements and standards are identical• NCMA is working continuously with DAU and FAI
