Becoming a CRM (Certified Records Manager), the most respected credential among professional records and information managers, has many advantages in today's complex and fluid information environment.

CRMs are in more demand now than ever!  This workshop will help you prepare for the CRM exams by identifying what areas to study for each exam part and where to find the resources to help you learn what you need to know.

Track One will cover an Introduction to the CRM Exam and overviews of Parts 1-5 including one hundred sample questions.

Track Two will focus on Part 6, which is the case studies portion of the exam. Attendees will receive strategic tips for passing Part 6 and will take two actual practice exams, which then will be graded in the class. Certification Maintenance requirements will also be discussed.  Attendees choosing this track must bring their own laptop computers to use for the exams. No paper exams will be available.
