ICRM Announces Partnership with University of Toronto

So - this is old news.  I should have reported on it a year ago.  But maybe a deserve a bit of credit (a tiny, quantum iota?) for checking up and following up on my notes.

In June 2019, the ICRM announced a strategic partnership with the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies.  The SCS offers a Records & Information Management certificate that now aligns with the Certified Records Analysts (CRA) credential - if you pass all of the courses in the certificate with 70% or more, you automatically earn your CRA.  Pretty good!  The CRA is a great credential on its own, and it also brings you half way to the full CRM credential.

You can find the courses here - they are available online, so no need to move to Toronto.  If you or someone you know is looking to enter the RIM field or upgrade their current skills, this might be an option.  (Full disclosure:  the courses aren't cheap, but align with university rates.)

Of note, this is the first strategic partnership that the ICRM has made outside of the US.
