Risk Management

The Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation is a widely recognized qualification that provides risk managers a foundation of knowledge and skills needed to identify, assess, monitor and limit risks. Attaining the CRM designation demonstrates a level of professional commitment, knowledge and skills that employers in both public and private sectors recognize.

This 3 course certificate of achievement allows you to complete the educational requirements and challenge the national exams to obtain your CRM designation recognized by the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) and awarded by the Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI).

Courses are credit bearing and transferable into Bow Valley College's Insurance and Risk Management Diploma.

Why earn the CRM Designation?

Credentials: Demonstrates that CRM holders have achieved the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, assess, monitor and limit risks.

Recognition: CRM holders stand out among others in a competitive marketplace.

Advancement: Improves the ability of CRM holders to achieve their organization's risk management objectives and their career goals.
