About the RIMS-CRMP Professional Certification



For over 25 years, Scott Sink has served as senior executive vice president of the Birmingham, Alabama-based McGriff Insurance Services, Inc. In this role, he oversees the company's activities in providing risk management and insurance solutions for some of America's largest electrical and gas utilities. A resident of Birmingham, Alabama, Scott Sink regularly attends the Risk and Insurance Management Society's (RIMS) annual conference.

The Risk and Insurance Management Society offers the Certified Risk Management Professional (CRMP) certificate to individuals in the field of risk and insurance management. Risk management professionals with the RIMS-CRMP certification possess the required knowledge and ethics to thrive in the profession. As such, they are more likely to find employment in senior financial roles in the job market.

Individuals who wish to take the CRMP exam must have earned a bachelor's degree or higher risk management certificate and have at least one year of work experience. Risk management students in the final year of their degree program are also eligible. However, interested applicants with a bachelor's degree in a non-risk management program must possess at least three years of work experience in the profession before they can enroll for the exam.

Furthermore, individuals without a degree must have a minimum of seven years of risk management working experience. After ascertaining that they meet the requirements, applicants can complete the registration form on the RIMS website and apply for the exam, subject to their application's approval.
