What does this mean to the quality/standards/caliber of the CRM? We believe that this does not detract from the quality or standards of the CRM in any way. AIIM has offered the AIIM ERM Master Class since 2006, with regular updates. It was developed in accordance with ISO 15489, ISO 26122, ISO 23081, MIKE2, and a number of other industry standards and guidelines. The ERM Master Class consists of more than 20 hours of educational content; the instructor-led course supplements this with activities, exercises, case studies, and practical discussion and engagement.
The updates in 2009 and 2013 were completed by a CRM - me - though in full disclosure I was only a candidate when I started the update in 2009.
AIIM remains committed to delivering a robust, rigorous course that remains highly relevant to all records managers and especially CRAs and CRMs. And as noted above, candidates will still have to complete Parts 1-4 and Part 6. This just represents another path to complete Part 5.
How do CRM candidates report they have completed the ERM Master Class? AIIM and the ICRM will do a one-time crosswalk to identify CRM candidates who have also completed the ERM Master Class in the past. Moving forward, candidates will need to report completion of the ERM Master Class within 6 months of completion, as is the case with other CMP credits. If you're not sure whether you completed the ERM Master Class requirements, contact me directly at jwilkins@aiim.org.
How do CRMs/CRAs access the member discount for AIIM training courses? AIIM has provided a discount code that will be made available to ICRM members.
Do the discounts apply to any other AIIM products? No, at this time the Professional Member discount is only valid for training courses. However, AIIM Professional Membership is highly valuable to records managers beyond the discounts - I have been an AIIM staff member for almost 7 years and I still pay, out of pocket, every year to maintain my Professional membership (as I do with my ICRM and ARMA memberships). I encourage anyone interested in learning more about Professional membership to contact me directly at jwilkins@aiim.org.
Does this also apply to the ERM Practitioner or Specialist? No, the candidate must complete the ERM Master. Students who have previously completed the ERM Practitioner or Specialist can complete the ERM Master either online or by attending the final two days of any instructor-led ERM Master Class. For more information contact me directly at jwilkins@aiim.org.
Does this apply to the online ERM Master Class? Yes. The online ERM Master Class covers the same information and all other requirements as the instructor-led class.
If you have other questions, ping me at jwilkins@aiim.org and I'll answer them and probably add them to this FAQ.
