Qualification registration is now open!

Registration is open for the 2025 cohort of the Certificate in Research Management (CRM). With two levels, Foundation and Advanced, the CRM qualifications enable research management professionals to progress their careers and deliver their roles at the highest standard. They have been designed to provide both formal recognition and a structured learning framework for every career stage, from new to experienced professionals.

The qualifications are delivered online with webinar support available for all units and access to online resources. This year we are also offering students the option to attend a face-to-face workshop for unit 1 to encourage networking with course peers.  Students will be part of a cohort commencing on Monday 3^rd November 2025 and working through mandatory and optional units with the help of a critical friend, their own line manager and their wider network. Please note you must be an ARMA member to study for an ARMA qualification.

To register for the 2025 CRM Foundation or CRM Advanced cohort, go to ARMA’s Qualifications Programme (log in required).

If you are interested or want to learn more, why not come along to our free information sessions? The next is taking place at Conference in June (face-to-face) and an online session will be held on Thursday 31^st July 13:00 – 14:00, open to both members and non-members. Keep an eye out for more details in the membership newsletter.
