The Risk Management Association (RIMS) has entered into a multi-year partnership with global brokerage network Brokerslink to promote the RIMS-Certified Risk Management Professional (RIMS-CRMP) certification. Accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under the ISO/IEC 17024 standard, it is the only risk management certification with an accredited status.

Under the partnership, Brokerslink will offer private and public RIMS-CRMP exam preparation workshops to its extensive network of over 45,000 professionals across 133 countries. RIMS will provide the necessary resources, including course materials, trainers and exams, to help participants achieve the RIMS-CRMP certification.

The first workshops will be held in person on November 12-13 in Abu Dhabi as part of Brokers Link’s annual conference.

Throughout the partnership, Brokerslink will also be recognized as an accredited provider of RIMS-CRMP continuing education credits, in line with the standards set by the RIMS-CRMP Committee.

“With more and more companies exploring opportunities in international markets, establishing a global standard for risk management and a foundation for professional excellence in this area is of paramount importance,” said Gary Labranche (pictured), CEO of RIMS.

“Successful risk management depends on all parties having a common foundation of knowledge and experience. RIMS is proud to work with Brokerslink to set this standard and provide Brokerslink’s extensive network with the support needed to raise the bar on risk management worldwide.”

Meanwhile, Jose Manuel Fonseca, CEO of Brokerslink, said of the collaboration: “We are honored to partner with RIMS, and to be able to offer a selection of their RIMS-CRMP training courses to our partners and affiliates in our network.

“Brokerslink is committed to the continuous education and development of its partners, affiliates and risk managers. A shared educational background will strengthen the relationships between insurance companies, brokers and corporate risk managers, enabling each group to develop more dynamic and effective programs.”
