1. Attend the 4 required workshop modules
2. Pass the on-site exam
   • The sit-in exam consists of 35 mutliple choice questions and 5 short essay questions. It is administered on site. The time allotted is 1 hour.
3. Participation and exercises will also be evaluated during the workshops and will count for the final grade

You can further pursue either the Certified Professional Risk Manager (CPRM™) Designation, or the Certified Enterprise-wide Risk Manager (CERM™) Designation:

• The CPRM™ Program is designed to develop highly effective decision-makers, who are able to manage risks and opportunities, whatever functions they have in the organizations.
• The CERM™ Program is designed to develop RISK CHAMPIONS, who are able to both manage the risk and opportunities and drive ERM projects from design to implementation in organizations.

The CRA™ course content already covers 50% of the CPRM™ course curriculum, and 25% of the CERM™ course curriculum. Hence, it eases your way to complete successfully either one of the programs' assessments, should you wish to continue your development (and aspiration) as a RISK MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL or LEADER.

Many professionals returning to "school" have images of one-way lectures and learning as "memorisation". Our programs are (a lot) different, they follow a workshop format. Our Faculty offer their deep expertise, but this is done with active participation and debates.

In fact, at ARiMI we don't use the word "student" - we use "participant" as the people joining the program are established professionals with already a lot of work experience. One role of the faculty is to tap such experience and to encourage active debate and exchange of ideas, opinions and best practices to foster collective learning while maintaining at all time a respectful and constructive learning environment.

Management Education is all about bridging the GAP between theory and practice. This is particularly true in our programs where our learning methods emphasize practical problem-solving learning, yet grounded in solid theory.

During the workshop, learning is stimulated through case studies, role plays and debates, where we aim to reconcile the unique features of a case or organization’s particular issue with the more generalizable concepts uncovered in theoretical researches.

As we want to ensure that participants DO build the necessary practical knowledge and skills, all course modules are conducted using a unique workshop format that fosters interaction, knowledge sharing and experiential learning.

It involves a balanced mix of fundamental lectures with effective supporting materials; interactive case presentations & debates; group discussions and sharing of experience; problem-solving exercises including computer aided workshops; action learning with case simulations with 'role plays'.

With Learning, the results you get are proportionate to the efforts you put in. Hence, we strongly encourage our CRA™ participants to "own" their learning. This means that they are prepared for workshops and contribute actively to their own learning and the learning of others.

Certainly, a significant amount of learning occurs by listening to other participants and being involved in active dialogue. Our Programs provides such opportunities.

Risk Management learning doesn’t stop when the program is completed. In fact, it is just the start of a life-long learning process. In a world where the only constant is change, it is essential for executives to keep on learning in order to stay ahead of the change 'curve'. And it is actually a requirement for our graduates to practise and continue to learn in order to keep their knowledge and skills up todate.

For example, every year our alumni expected to do something to demonstrate their professional expertise. It might be to return to campus to take new workshops. Or attend Risk Management conferences. It could also be to write an article on some important risk management issues. In any case, our alumni association will provide opportunities for ongoing exchange. The learning should never stop.

The ARiMI CRA™ Program has been designed with busy working professionals in mind. Thanks to the modular approach, it gives participants the flexibility to learn and work effectively at the same time.

Participants who are not based in Singapore can easliy attend all the 4 Workshop Modules, and sit for the onsite examination by making just 2 trips to Singapore.
