Calling All Aspiring CRM/CRAs...

Ah, fall.  The nights are getting cold, the leaves are turning yellow, and (as of today, with my kids) students are reluctantly stumbling back to school.  It's part of the annual natural cycle.

There's a concurrent cycle in the CRM world as well.  The August exam cycle has just completed, and those with bleary eyes are getting some much-needed sleep.  Exam writers are exulting, licking wounds, or both, and Part 6 writers are sitting on pins and needles until results are back.  (The grading deadline for graders is today, so those results shouldn't be too far off.)  And with everyone getting back to school and studies, the next generation of potential CRM candidates is already pondering their professional development possibilities.

Perhaps that's you.  The CRM designation is still the most widely-recognized RIM credential out there, and it has a good reputation largely because the exam process is so grueling.  Check out the ICRM website for information on the exams and on applying.

If you have already committed to yourself or to your employer to write the exams, maybe you'd like a study partner?  I can arrange to get introduce candidates and provided a suggested study approach if you're interested.  Just give me a shout at 403-297-5746.

The next exam cycle is November 6-17, with registration closing November 2nd.  For exam cycles for the next couple of years, look here.

Good luck to our Part 6 candidates still awaiting word, and to all candidates happy studying.
