Arizona Court Manager (ACM)
The Arizona Court Manager (ACM) program is for second-level managers, senior supervisors or participants completing the Arizona Court Supervisor (ACS) program. Participants must be recommended by their court or probation department.
Courses consist of National Center for State Courts (NCSC) Institute for Court Management (ICM) courses and Arizona-specific AZ PLUS courses.
Participants must first apply for admission to the Arizona Court Manager (ACM) program. Admission requires approval of their department head—typically the presiding judge, chief probation officer, juvenile court center director, clerk of the court or superior court administrator.
Once admitted, participants can pre-register for calendared classes. Only program participants receive notification of classes. When classes exceed capacity, priority is given to participants who have completed other classes.
At this time there is no cost to attend these classes. Classes are held at the Judicial Education Center in Phoenix and travel is on own. Participants who want the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) ICM Certified Court Manager certificate pay a $50 per class fee to the NCSC.
