The Certification Commission encourages mentoring of applicants by current CEMs. The CEMs provided on the searchable list below are Featured Mentors. You can search and find a person who is close in proximity to your location or your employment description. Applicants for certification also may choose CEMs not on this list to be their mentor.

All new mentoring relationships should begin with the mentor completing the Mentoring Approval Request Form.

Disclaimer: All Featured Mentors are required to complete training to review the certification requirement. However, mentors do not have the authority to pre-approve applicant submissions. Applicants may contact a Commissioner at any time to seek additional information for verification requirements or email cem@iaem.com.
