Description
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The RMA CERA is one credential based on mastery of one set of learning objectives with accreditation applied on a consistent basis worldwide. No other credential comprehensively meets the global needs in risk management. This is a world-class program that combines real life experience with the theoretical, practical and professional principles of ERM.

DELIVERY METHODOLOGY

- We shall use blended learning in which our participants would learn at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of their controls over time, place, path, or pace. While participants would still have to attend the program in some cases via face-to-face classroom methods after Covid-19, it would be combined with computer-mediated activities.
- On the whole, we shall adopt the “hybrid learning,” “technology-mediated instruction,” “web-enhanced instruction,” and “mixed-mode instruction” to achieve optimal/stellar results.
