What is a Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation?
- A designation awarded by the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) indicating risk managers have foundational knowledge and skills needed to identify, assess, monitor and limit risks
- A Canadian designation recognized by global risk management professionals and many of Canada’s leading government and financial institutions
- CRM holders are better positioned to fulfill requirements for high-paying roles in project management, IT, cybersecurity and more across finance, government and other large organizations
- Participants are required to take a standardized exam through RIMS after each completed certificate course to obtain the full designation. Additional exam fees from RIMS will apply.
- Further details regarding eligibility can be found on the Canadian Risk Management website.
Laurier's Canadian Risk Management (CRM) Certificate
Your first step to earn the CRM designation is to complete all three courses (36 hours each over 12 weeks) in the Laurier CRM Certificate program. The CRM certificate indicates a foundational understanding of risk management.
The approach of the Laurier CRM Certificate courses:
-
Utilize RIMS approved textbooks in tandem with extension activities and content within our learning management system (MyLS) curated by an experienced Risk Manager
-
Further the connections between theoretical knowledge and practical application through optional Zoom sessions (which are recorded for those who can’t attend) facilitated by a Risk Manager
Assessed components include:
-
Contributions to cohort-based discussions related to core concepts
-
2-4 assignments/case studies where knowledge is applied to instances relevant to the working world
-
1 final exam that mirrors the requirements of the RIMS exam that many will complete
Courses follow a weekly structure, and though material can be reviewed at your own pace, assessments need to be completed according to deadlines.
You will receive:
- A letter of completion after each completed course
- A Canadian Risk Management Certificate from Laurier upon completing all three courses
- After each completed course, learners will gain access to RIMS corresponding designation exam (additional fee applies)
Even if you don’t plan on writing a full designation exam with RIMS, the CRM certificate from Laurier provides the best foundation for those entering the field of risk management.
