Get CRIS Credit

If you recently attended a conference, seminar, or webinar that pertains to construction risk management and insurance, and you would like to obtain CRIS reaccreditation credit, follow these steps.

1. Attend webinars, seminars, conferences, or other educational events that have been approved for CRIS reaccreditation. You must attend the events after receiving your CRIS certification.

2. The sponsor will provide you with a Certificate of Completion containing a unique and nontransferable Completer Code number.

3. If a single event provided the 7 hours needed for reaccreditation, go to the Voucher/Promotion/Completer Code Redemption page in the CRIS Learning Center to report your attendance and pay the reaccreditation fee. You will need the Completer Code number from the Certificate of Completion you received when you do so. The fee for this reaccreditation option pays the costs of administering this part of the CRIS program.

4. If you are attending multiple events to satisfy the 7-hour requirement, follow the procedures below.

   • Once you have completed the required 7 hours for reaccreditation, please submit a CRIS Reaccreditation Certification Form and evidence of completion certificates to [email protected] or fax to Continuing Education at (972) 371-5120.

   • If you attended IRMI webinars for credit but were not the registered attendee, complete a CRIS Webinar Certification Form for each webinar.

     • All attendees should print and sign their name and provide their e-mail address.

     • The person who has paid for the webinar and signed on will be the person who signs the document attesting that those individuals have listened to the webinar in its entirety.

     • Each attendee will need to be provided a copy of the signed form.

     • When all 7 webinars have been completed, submit a CRIS Reaccreditation Certification Form with each signed CRIS Webinar Certification Form to [email protected] or fax to Continuing Education at (972) 371-5120.

   • Once IRMI has received and verified course attendance, an e-mail will be sent providing

     • a link to the website to report attendance and

     • a Voucher Code, which is used to certify completion of the required 7 hours.
