It provides a foundation of core skills and competencies for the Records and Information Management (RIM) professional, including general management principles; all aspects of recordkeeping through creation, management, control, storage, and disposition; and more in-depth areas like recordkeeping technologies.

Being a CRM/CRA requires continuing education, which ensures that professionals remain current in their skills and can assist organizations in the deployment of successful RIM strategies.
