Getting your CRM Credential - Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) Update

GRMI.jpg

Effective October 1, 2018, CRM designation holders will not be required to maintain a membership with the GRMI organization.  GRMI will issue the CRM credential to individuals that register their CRM with GRMI.  

In lieu of ongoing dues, GRMI is reinstating the $100 (USD) one-time CRM designation registration fee that was required before the standardized exams were implemented.

Based on the eligibility requirements, CRM candidates will need to pass the three CRM standardized exams, mail in an official copy of their transcript or grade report to GRMI, and submit a $100 (USD) registration fee to obtain the CRM credential and digital badge. 

The existing $130 (USD) CRM standardized exam fee will change to $155 (USD) for RIMS members and $175 (USD) for non-members effective October 1, 2018.

For CRM holders who paid reinstatement fees in 2018 under the 'Reinstatement Offer':

GRMI Members who paid a CRM designation reinstatement fee in 2018 will receive an adjustment refund:

  • For those individuals who paid a GRMI reinstatement fee covering both their CRM registration and GRMI back dues, GRMI will issue them a refund for any amounts paid over $150.
  • For those individuals who paid a GRMI reinstatement fee covering only their GRMI back dues, GRMI will issue them a refund for any amounts paid over $50

For Lapsed/Unregistered GRMI Members:

  • For those individuals who have never registered their CRM or paid GRMI dues, GRMI will charge them a fee of $150 if paid before October 1, 2018, and $100 if paid on or after October 1, 2018.   

If you have any questions please forward them to GRMI@rims.org.

GRMI Temporary CRM Designation Reinstatement Offer

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT THE CRM DESIGNATION - PLEASE READ 

GRMI is moving towards electronic credential verification. To achieve this goal, they are in the process of validating CRM holders in good standing.  Many CRM holders have renewed their dues annually and on time to maintain their credentials. However, some may have moved, not updated their contact information and not received their notice of dues.  GRMI is offering a grace period ending June 30, 2018 as a temporary reinstatement opportunity.  After this time, you may forfeit your CRM designation.

 

We have been asked to spread the word on behalf of GRMI and have provided their official statement with instructions below.  If you have any questions, you are welcome to reach out to GRMI directly at GRMI@rims.org. Thank you in advance for your help in getting the word out.

GRMI Temporary CRM Designation Reinstatement Offer

*This temporary reinstatement offer will expire on June 30, 2018.

CRM designation holders must maintain their credentialed membership with GRMI by paying a USD $50 annual dues fee, which is nonrefundable.  Nonpayment of the GRMI annual membership dues will result in forfeiture of the CRM designation and the ability to list CRM on a profile.  Reinstatement refers to the restoring of a designation that was lost due to non-compliance.

  • Former GRMI members whose membership lapsed due to nonpayment may apply for reinstatement of their GRMI membership and CRM designation by completing the following steps:
  1. Send an email request to GRMI@rims.org
  2. GRMI will contact the individual to process the USD $100 renewal fee before 6/30/18. This will cover the fee for the previous (10/31/16 - 10/31/17) cycle and the current (10/31/17 -10/31/18) renewal cycle.

 

  • A CRM holder who (a) completed the 3 courses at a CRM provider location but did not register their designation with GRMI or (b) is a former GRMI member whose membership expired for non-payment spanning beyond two renewal dates will have two reinstatement options available until 6/30/18:
    • Apply for reinstatement by completing the following steps:
  1. Send a transcript with the reinstatement request to GRMI@rims.org
  2. GRMI will send the individual a link to submit a reinstatement fee of USD $250.

NOTE:  GRMI members must send an email to GRMI@rims.org whenever their contact information changes.  If individuals don’t pay their GRMI dues (USD $50) before 12/31/18 for the 10/31/18-10/31/19 renewal period, the digital credential will no longer be usable, and reinstatement will not be available.

  • A CRM holder who (a) completed the 3 courses at a CRM provider location but did not register their designation with GRMI may register their designation by completing the following steps:
    1. Send a transcript with the registration request along with current contact information to GRMI@rims.org
    2. GRMI will send the individual a link to submit a CRM registration fee of USD $200.

    • Those who have completed the 3 courses at a CRM provider location recently and are ready to register their designation with GRMI, may write the 3 standardized exams (CRM 54, CRM 55, and CRM 56); each exam costs USD $130.  Log onto https://www.rims.org/grmi/Pages/Exam-Registration.aspx to register to write the exams, and email a transcript for the three courses to GRMI@rims.org.
