No, the ICRM does NOT waive the 3 yrs with bachelors or 2 years with
Masters degree professional experience requirements in order for an
applicant to become a candidate.

Yes,

experience with a BA, 2 years with an MA"
I am aware of this, but I believe it has often been waved with
documented on
the job experience. Anyway, the educational framework and content
tested are
VERY different and I see the CRM to be an additional educational
designation
that is simply different from a general education. And should be an
addition
to that education.
They are both evidence of educational accomplishment.

but john you forget that in order to qualify for the CRM exams you need
a
minimum of 3 years experience with a BA, 2 years with an MA. so I
would
throw in that part of the CRM process as similar to the class work for
a
degree.
But what we're really doing here is splitting hairs.

I agree, they are different.
