We believe:
The art of building business relationships is best mastered through interactive, instructor-led training.
Our in-person format enables rich discussions, real-time feedback, and valuable peer-to-peer learning experiences that simply can’t be replicated in self-paced environments.
The dynamic nature of relationship management demands collaborative learning spaces where participants can explore nuanced scenarios, share diverse perspectives, and benefit from the expertise of certified trainers who can provide contextual insights and personalized guidance.
Your trainer is more than happy to conduct, at no charge to you, a BRM Executive Brief for your leadership team after the completion of the course.

CBRM Certification Exam
Live Online or In-Person
The CBRM certification exam is a 150-minute exam. All exams are paper-based. Your accredited trainer is also your proctor. We purposely follow this approach to decrease your exam anxiety.
The main objective of the exam is to demonstrate your ability to apply the CBRM learnings to an organization’s scenario. The organization’s background and objectives, an organization chart of the key staff, an overview of the current challenges and the business strategies and initiatives to be put in place.
Each scenario will be based on an easily understood business model that is not country or culture specific. Scenario information will be kept to a minimum.
