The CRIS Certification Establishes Credibility and Dedication
The Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS®) continuing education (CE) program was developed by IRMI to make it much easier for construction financial officers and managers, controllers, in-house risk managers or insurance buyers, and their agents, brokers, and underwriters to gain specialized expertise in construction insurance and risk management. Completing the five-part curriculum entitles you to the CRIS certification. Construction financial and risk professionals who obtain the certification will have the knowledge to make wiser insurance and risk management decisions for their employers and work more effectively with their agents/brokers. Obtaining the CRIS certification will increase the competence, confidence, and credibility of insurance professionals who sell or underwrite insurance for contractors. A CFO, CFM, controller, or construction risk manager who buys insurance from a CRIS designee will know he or she is dealing with someone who is knowledgeable about the specialized needs of contractors.

The CRIS Curriculum and the Continuing Education Requirement
The core curriculum is comprised of five basic-to intermediate-level insurance and risk management continuing education courses directly focused on the unique needs of construction projects and contractors. Completing the core curriculum qualifies an individual to use the CRIS certification for 24 months. To maintain the certification, the CRIS certification-holder must complete only 7 hours of CRIS CE credit during the initial 24 months and every 12 months thereafter. This can be satisfied through just one additional online CE course or by attending approved seminars and conferences.
