CERTIFIED RELOCATION

PROFESSIONAL                      

 

 

 

The Certified Relocation Professional (CRP™) Program is designed to recognize relocation industry professionals who have gained a broad knowledge of relocation practices

 

 

 

Relocation professionals are aware that there are many pieces required to solve a transferee’s puzzle. Each piece has a different shape and unique angle, which ultimately interlock to produce a smooth, secure, and successful move for the employee and their family.

Solving that puzzle is paramount. The CRP™ exam helps. It is designed each year to keep ERC members in the know about important issues and recent changes that affect the industry. It focuses on corporate policy, tax issues, relocation appraisals, family issues, and the latest trends.

 

 

 

The Three-hour Challenge

 

 

 

Established in 1990, ERC’s Certified Relocation Professional (CRP™) Program quickly became a symbol of professionalism in the relocation industry. The CRP™ designation formally recognizes those who have mastered extensive knowledge on the principles and practices of relocation. It is earned by the passage of a three-hour, multiple-choice exam given each May.

 

 

A major purpose of this program is the achievement of a common and universal understanding of the entire employee relocation field and recognition of those professionals who demonstrate mastery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the three years that a CRP™ designation is valid, education must continue for the CRP™ holder to be eligible for recertification. In addition to the continuing education, CRP™ designees must maintain a membership in good standing with ERC. The continuing education required to maintain a CRP™ designation must amount to 30 credits accumulated from attending ERC meeting programs, attending external organization meetings, and listening to ERC audiotapes. At least 10 of these credits must be obtained from an ERC-sponsored event or tape; the remaining 20 credits may be obtained from courses sponsored by external organizations. External organization meetings must be pre-approved by ERC before credit is given.

 

The Employee Relocation Council administers the Certified Relocation Professional designation, which formally recognizes those who have mastered extensive knowledge on the principles and practices of relocation. There are 5,147 CRPs nationwide.
