ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Established
in 1995, AARM - The Association for the Advancement
of Relationship Marketing/Management a not for profit
Association - has a track-record in CRM education and
training.
We
are the certifying organization of and for
professional CRM managers. The certification
program was originally created in 2001 to meet the
requirement to have a standard by which persons involved
in Customer Relationship Management could be educated,
measured, accredited and recognized according to criteria
of experience and capability established by their peers.
AARM certification is more comprehensive than those
offered by technology firms and has no technology bias,
whether for specific vendors, their solutions or technology
in general. Our focus is on the Customer Relationship
Marketing/Management aspects and whatever it takes
to improve it, including technology but also including
other areas for strategic and tactical consideration.
1.
to establish a common core curriculum for CRM professionals;
and
2.
to provide assurance for employers that individuals
certified, understand and have demonstrated competence
in the core curriculum.
6.
THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Attaining
the CRM designation is based on educational background,
work experience and the completion of a multi-part
curriculum.
The on-line P.CRM Certification session agenda follows
a learning path that provides for leveling the playing
field of required CRM knowledge. The sessions are divided
into separate yet integrated learning experiences by
senior executives on the mentoring team for each particular
session.
OnLine coaching is available during the course itself but not the exam.
Students apply for CRM certification and are accepted
based on the applicability of their credentials and
the alignment of their expectations with the program's
learning objectives.
The
professional accreditation (P.CRM) conferred requires
that delegates do indeed receive and benefit from the
intended learning and that AARM can objectively confirm
that this learning has taken place.
We
conduct executive level examinations OnLine following
the conclusion of the sessions to confirm that the
P.CRM learning objectives have been achieved. The
examinations include multiple choice questionnaires as well as reviews of key questions and issues from
the program in an appropriate manner. Passing grade is eighty five percent. Tests are scored
and, upon successful completion attendees receive
a certification in CRM that certifies capabilities
and knowledge at the executive level. The P.CRM designation is conferred
and the graduate is entitled to all the benefits
of CRM certification, including the use of the professional
P.CRM designation after his or her name.
To continue the dialogue with delegates and to ensure
that the P.CRM retains current value, periodic workshops
and OnLine meetings are held as post graduate sessions to refresh
knowledge, obtain feedback from the field and introduce
new concepts as they emerge.

TESTIMONIALS
"The
informal structure allowed for great interaction
with the other participants, as well as the
presenters. We didn't just follow a preset
agenda, we were able to discuss issues that
were relevant to us in our everyday work
environments - overall, a very worthwhile
experience." SJ - Major
financial services organization
"I appreciated the opportunity to
get exposed to the fundamental elements of
CRM. I also appreciated the opportunity to
hear from experts about the more detailed
aspects of CRM and how they play out in the
real world." - EDC
"I found
the course material very well presented
and the variety of speakers was excellent.
I learned a lot and, more importantly,
accomplished my objective of learning the
how-to of CRM. Thanks again."- Xerox
" Great session! The interaction between
the group was the best learning." -
U.S. Air Force.
"The
P.CRM sessions encompass all aspects of CRM,
as well as providing considerable, practical
detail on the "how-to's". The material
is current and reflects industry best practices.
Because of the high caliber of the participants,
questions are intelligent and peer learning
opportunities are high".
"As
a great believer in continuous learning,
I have participated in many learning forums.
I give the P. CRM program top marks!" -
CD - BMO Financial Group
"The P.CRM program is the perfect
introduction to the objectives and scope
of CRM and is ideal for all managers
who need to understand, in simple but
comprehensive ways, the "big picture".
I was impressed that the focus was kept
on "management"
and "practical applications" rather
than theory and technology. I left with
new information and knowledge that will
be immediately applicable to my daily
work. Highly
recommended!" - KM
- CRM Research Solutions
"Very interactive
and engaging."
- Carlson Marketing GROUP
"The P.CRM sessions were targeted
to marketing and management executives,
although I'm sure technologists would
benefit from the course as well. The
presenters were uniformly excellent,
the presentation materials comprehensive,
and the content was advanced - nothing
basic or introductory!"
"Unlike
many "educational" programs there
were no sales pitches or sponsoring companies.
The P.CRM course is ideal for those contemplating,
or in the midst of, CRM efforts. I would
recommend it!" - FA
President. ScanSave LLC
"Great, I really
Learned a lot!"
"I
thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and meeting
so many colleagues from the Marketing field.
There were very enlightening presentations,
including Customer Loyalty, The Basics of
Relationship Marketing, and The Lifetime
Value of a Customer. There were also great
presentations on the implementation of quick
programs which immediately impacted sales.
I would recommend this course to Marketing
professionals interested in data mining,
customer retention, and customer loyalty.
