The Value of Being a Certified Records Manager (CRM)
National and global industry surveys continue to show a strong correlation and value proposition for those RIM professionals that achieve the CRM designation. The candidate’s belief that the credential will provide for enhanced
professionalism and personal growth is a significant factor in the overall decision to become a CRM. The RIM
knowledge gained through the certification examination preparation process, and elevation of confidence that is
achieved as a result of mastering related competencies, is directly related to the CRM’s ability to garner higherlevel RIM positions with commensurate salaries.
The ICRM offers a variety of resources for CRA and CRM candidates to prepare for the six examinations.
