Awarded by the Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI), 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.
Risk management is the ability to analyze, communicate, recommend problem-solving techniques, and monitor the exposure of unexpected losses.
The CRM program is offered at the Faculty of Extension in cooperation with the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS). Courses are focused on the identification and assessment of exposures to loss, strategies for controlling identified losses, and a review of techniques for financing the payment of those losses which do occur.
The Risk and Insurance Management program will be of benefit to risk managers, insurance professionals, project managers, and individuals from a variety of industries who are interested in earning the CRM designation. Participants in this program come from areas such as oil and gas, insurance companies, and small to large enterprises in the public and private sectors.
