The Academy provides graduates of the Minnesota Municipal Clerks Institute (MMCI) three-year program with an opportunity to focus on an in-depth topic of importance to the profession. Clerks who have completed the requirements for the MCMC and/or CMC designation may use this MCFOA and IIMC-approved program to earn 6 Education points. These points can be used toward the Minnesota Master Municipal Clerk (MMMC) designation through MCFOA and/or toward the IIMC Master Municipal Clerks (MMC) designation.
Who Should Attend?Coming soon
The Advanced Academy consists of a 1 ½ day, 12-hour curriculum of programming. Each participant is eligible to receive a maximum of 6 education points with a completed learning assessment and a passing score of 70% or greater. ALL CURRICULUM HOURS ARE MANDATORY. There is a strict adherence to punctuality in each session and no cell phone calls or texting are allowed in the classroom. Attendance will be tracked. In rare instances related to emergencies, excused absences are allowed if approved by the Institute Director. These excused absences will require a “makeup assignment” that is provided by the Institute Director (who will collaborate with the instructor prior to the end of the programming).
PARTICIPANTS WHO FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
