CSRM Online

To keep our community safe and healthy, all classroom programs scheduled before June 1st have been postponed.

During the current coronavirus crisis, your health and safety are our top priorities. To do our part to slow the spread of the disease without disrupting your learning and professional development, we’ve transformed all of our designation programs and courses into engaging and easy-to-use online learning options.

These are the times clients and colleagues need you the most.

Educational institutions require professionals who know how to identify today’s risks and plan for tomorrow’s challenges.
