<Amongst the other skills and qualities that an educated (rather than
trained) person might possess are - * critical thinking, *
problem-solving, * the ability to operate effectively with and upon a
body of knowledge, and the development of a theoretical infrastructure
on which to build new developments and trends so that they can be
understood in context, * the ability to undertake lifelong learning,
understanding its importance and relating it to what is already known *
effective problem solving * effective communication - both written and
oral * collaborative abilities, * how one discipline or profession is
related to another and where its boundaries are;
* how issues in another discipline can be modified for incorporation
into one's own,>

An excellent description of the 6th exam which one must pass in order to
achieve the CRM designation!

And --- <* an international perspective, *  a commitment to ethical
action and social responsibility *  a wider and deeper understanding of
how the world works.>
are excellent examples of what is expected of a CRM after achieving the
designation (see the ICRM Code of Ethics on our web site).

Also-- <ARMA could play a role in identifying which courses best prepare
one for the CRM through a recognition process.>
I'm not sure if ARMA would be able to identify courses for CRM
preparation since they are not in any way involved in developing the
exams, but the ICRM certainly could.
