At the 2016 ICRM Annual Business Meeting, a new certification was announced - the
Certified Records Analyst (CRA). Here is the press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT: ICRM Annual Business Meeting: September 24, 2016
The ICRM launches its third professional certification:
Certified Records Analyst (CRA)
The CRA provides another opportunity to be a member of the ICRM. By achieving the
CRA designation, records management professionals demonstrate a solid foundation in
Records and Information Management (RIM); potentially on their way to attaining the
CRM. CRA’s are knowledgeable and experienced in active and inactive records systems.
A CRA’s knowledge includes such areas as electronic records and information; regulatory
compliance-related requirements; the lifecycle management of records and information;
and more.
This certification provides an opportunity for immediate certification to those existing
CRM candidates that have already successfully passed Parts 2-4 of the examinations;
while still retaining the ability to continue on to the CRM. The CRA allows newly educated
and experienced records management professionals the ability to become a member of
the Institute; thereby improving their opportunities for career advancement and
increasing the number of educated and credentialed millennials to meet the demand for
RIM and Information Governance (IG) positions in the global marketplace.
“We are excited to deliver the CRA certification to the RIM profession! This new
certification follows our time-tested approach and allows for more professionals to obtain
a value-added RIM credential while promoting the continuance of their individual
development. We fully expect many to use the CRA as a spring-board to achieving their
CRM over a timeline that meets their individual needs.” – Brice Sample, CRM – President
A CRA may vote in elections of the ICRM, may not hold office but can serve as a member
or chairman of an ICRM Commission, Committee or Taskforce, may attend the ICRM
Business Meeting and may attend the ICRM Annual Reception held annually at the ARMA
Conference. Further, CRAs are granted access the ICRM website, the membership
directory and all publications and information provided as a benefit of ICRM membership.
Candidates for the CRA, upon submitting an online application to the ICRM, will be
approved to sit for Parts 2-4 if they properly document achievement of a 4-year
(bachelor’s degree) from an accredited institution of higher education and also
demonstrate one-year of professional Records and Information Management (RIM)
experience. Alternately, one year of professional Records and Information Management
(RIM) experience can be substituted for each year of college education.
