Thanks for the contributions on this thread Patrick.

Regarding this passage:

<snip>
But to me, the CRM is hurdle one. That says you know a bit
about a reasonably broad cross-section of our profession, you can
write
an intelligible sentence, and you have a defined amount of education
and experience. It doesn't say that you're going to be a great records
manager; it just says you have shown a basic level of competence
<snip>

The CRM certification credential represents much more than a bit of
reasonably broad cross-section of our profession, being able to write an
intelligible sentence, a defined amount of education
and experience, and a basic level of competence.

The CRM represents a high level of RIM knowledge and competence, and
being able to think critically and apply the knowledge, general
management and RIM logic and theory, under a time-constrained,
pressurized 4-hour set of cases.

Have a good weekend.

Lots and lots of good thoughts on this very important and slippery
