Experienced Industry Professional Pathway

Application Requirements for the Designation of Certified Catastrophe Risk Management Professional (CCRMP)[1]

The Experienced Industry Professional (EIP) pathway allows individuals to earn the Certified Catastrophe Risk Management Professional (CCRMP) credential through an application process rather than by completing the required courses or exams. EIP applicants submit documentation providing details about their skills and experience in the field of catastrophe risk management.

There are two EIP pathways for the CCRMP credential: a pathway for candidates with catastrophe modeling experience, and a Technical Experienced Industry Professional Pathway (TEIP) for candidates who have experience as model developers and providers.

There is no application fee to apply for the credential via the EIP pathways, but to receive the designation, applicants must pay a credential fee of $350.  This fee includes membership in both ISCM and iCAS. To maintain the credential, CCRMP credential holders will need to pay this fee annually as well as satisfy any Continuing Education requirements that are established.

Applicants for both pathways must be nominated by someone holding the CCRMP credential.
