AUSTIN, TX - August 15, 2012 —With the addition of the Analysis of Risk course to the lineup of the CRM International Online Classroom Courses, any participant with a connection to the internet can now complete the prestigious CRM designation from anywhere.

The Certified Risk Managers Program began in 1995 and has steadily grown to be the most influential program for understanding risks and how to manage them. The five courses are taught by seasoned professionals with years of experience in the risk management field—many are Risk Managers of the Year and have received prestigious awards related to risk management.

This online classroom is a 5-week course featuring a weekly webinar, discussion board participation, readings, and quizzes. Participants experience the same high quality and standards as the Certified Risk Managers classroom courses – including the expert faculty – with the convenience of the web! The courses are open to insurance, risk management professionals and other related professions.

The National Alliance is a pioneer and early adopter of the unique distance learning format of providing blended learning for risk management. Designation candidates take a proctored exam at the end of the course. Approved in most states for CE credit, the courses also meet the requirements for updating the CRM and CIC designations. Two years of update credit may be completed by CISRs and CSRMs attending any course.

According to Lynne S. Lovell, CIC, CRM, CPCU, CLU, ChFC, ARM, RHU, ASLI, MLIS, CRIS, AFSB, "The program is excellent and definitely heading in the right direction. The five weeks seems to be the perfect amount of time. The "homework" is appropriate to reinforce the learning objectives. All the speakers are excellent and their on-line presentation skills are great."
