Becoming a Certified Global Risk & Crisis Manager (GRM^®)

Option 1

Professional Diploma in Risk & Crisis Management

The GQCO^® in partnership with the Global University of Science & Technology (GUST) highest-level qualification providing the gold standard in education and preparation for a career in risk management, the GUST- Risk & Crisis Management Diploma is a must for ambitious candidates.

This course is set at around the same level as a high-quality postgraduate course, meaning a great deal of time, effort and commitments are required to succeed. Nevertheless, the investment is more than outweighed by the extraordinary rewards. The content of the course is the work of advanced academics and industry leaders from all over the world, offering invaluable insights into the risk profession from both practical and theoretical standpoints.

Option 2

An Equivalent Recognized Qualification

If you have already studied for a similarly-advanced qualification either at university or while working as in a risk & crisis management capacity, you may qualify for certified membership with GQCO^®. Depending on the type and level of qualification you already hold, you may be entitled to skip one or any number of the essential modules within our Professional Diploma.

It is also possible to qualify for non-standard exemptions, which are awarded in the instances of professional or academic qualifications or achievement you believe match the requirements set out.

Option 3

Prior Learning Assessment

We understand that it is perfectly possible to learn a great deal about professional risk & crisis management, without necessarily having to study for formal qualifications. As such, GQCO^® also offers a prior learning assessment service, which enables us to give additional credit and consideration to those who have reached higher levels of competency and expanded their knowledge through non-academic pursuits.

Recertification

Once you have passed the GRCM^® exam and received your certificate, you will need to stay up to date on developments in crisis management development practices. To prove you have maintained and updated your PM knowledge and skills, QCO requires that you recertify every 3 years. (please refer to recertification for more info)
