WHy being a CSRM makes a difference
School districts, school employees, students, and parents deserve the highest quality service from a qualified risk manager—one who has a practiced understanding about today’s institutional risks and exposures.
The Certified School Risk Manager designation is the nation’s only comprehensive risk management educational program. Training to become a CSRM includes five advanced courses covering all aspects of school risk management and five rigorous examinations.
