BRM Institute selects APMG-International as its global Accreditation and Certification Partner
Dear Members of the BRM Community,
I am pleased to inform you that BRM Institute signed a partnership agreement with APMG-International, a world’s leading professional training accreditation and professional certification exam provider organization. Under this agreement, BRM Institute courses will be made available through APMG-International’s extensive global network of 270 Registered Providers (RPs). APMG-International, whose extensive portfolio of professional qualifications includes COBIT® 5, CESG’s Information Assurance Scheme, ITIL, and PRINCE2®, will also handle the design, delivery, and administration of our Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP®) and Certified Business Relationship Manager (CBRM®) professional certification examinations eventually making them available through the traditional onsite, testing center-based as well as online proctored delivery options.
Empowered by this new partnership and as the Chief Accreditor for its BRM professional development portfolio of courses and exams, BRM Institute has solidified its standing as the world’s leading source of BRM professional education and is in ever better position to fulfill its mission to gather the leading BRM practices and effectively disseminate the latest professional knowledge through world-class BRM professional development and certification programs.
This important step forward would not be possible without your enthusiastic support and its main purpose is to increase the value you receive from BRM Institute professional development programs and certifications. It is our top priority to make the transition to APMG-International accredited training and certification as smooth as possible for those, who might have already invested in BRM Institute education:
- If you successfully completed one of our BRMP® or CBRM® courses, you will be eligible to take the corresponding APMG-International-administered exam, when it becomes available (we expect BRMP® to be available in or before February 2014 with the CBRM® exam being released soon after). This grandfathering rule will also apply to all BRMP® and CBRM® courses that have been advertised by BRM Institute and Service Management Art to date.
- In line with the exam release schedule, we will offer a series of complimentary one-day fully interactive instructor-led online refresher courses to help our prior course attendees to prepare for and successfully pass the certification exam.
If there is anything else we can do to increase the value of your investment in BRM Institute professional training and certification, please let us know! Thank you very much for your support!
Sincerely,
Dr. Aleksandr Zhuk
Co-Founder and President

APMG is delighted to be working with BRMI, which has an outstanding reputation. Our international reach will help more people benefit from BRM training. We look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship. Best wishes from Kate Winter and all at APMG.
Dear Kate, thank you very much for your kind comment! At BRMI, we could not have wished for a better or more qualified partner to make our training and certification accessible globally. Having worked with you and your colleagues on forging this partnership agreement, I am eagerly looking forward to see the exciting outcomes of our collaboration! Please pass on my heartfelt gratitude to the APMG team for helping us reach this crucial milestone in serving the BRM professional community! It is a real pleasure to work with you!
Congratulations! I have worked with APMG as an assessor and examiner for several years now, and I can tell you that you could not have picked a better partner for your certification and accreditation program. This is an excellent choice! Considering how much interest there is worldwide in BRM training and certification, I think this is going to be a very successful partnership. 🙂
Hello Juan, thank you for your comment! Success of this partnership will largely depend on support of the expert trainers like you. I hope, we can count you in as one of our first Accredited Trainer candidates and am looking forward to collaborating with you to help you, your employer, and BRMI be successful. Thank you very much for your support!
Hi Aleksandr, You can certainly count me twice (myself, and my employer, me!). 🙂 I have a very good working relationship with APMG but all assessors are contractors to maintain separation of interests. We’ll have to have a chat about training as well.
This is great news. I look forward to officially adding CBRM certification when it becomes available.
Hello Santosh! It would be a privilege to have you among our first CBRM certification holders. Thank you very much for your support!
