RIMS offering certification through three universities

The Risk & Insurance Management Society Inc. said Tuesday that three universities would offer the first prep course for the RIMS-Certified Risk Management Professionals certification.

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, the University of Toronto and Yeshiva University in New York will develop a RIMS-CRMP prep course, RIMS said in a statement.

The course is currently available to students at Nanyang Technological University, and the University of Toronto and Yeshiva University plan to open registration in September.

With RIMS support, the universities’ courses will align with the five domains tested on the RIMS-CRMP exam, including analyzing the business model, designing organizational risk strategies, implementing the risk process, developing organizational risk competency and supporting decision-making.

RIMS-CRMP in-person prep workshops will be held in Montreal on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, and in New York on Nov. 13-14. The course is also available online, RIMS said.
