How will I learn at AIIM’s ERM Master Class?

The courses follow a proven learning model with engaging, impactful and live workshops with participative and challenging exercises. The elements of this methodology are:

• 3 Domains: development should engage participants at three levels – emotionally (feeling – the heart); logically (thinking – the head) and practically (doing – the hand)

• Transferability: students should always be able to see how the skills that they are developing can be used back at their workplace

• Memory: the design of the event and the activities within it should be memorable

• Measures: participants (and their organizations) should be able to measure the impact of the intervention

• 5 Senses: the activities within a development program should appeal to all 5 senses wherever possible, to stimulate a range of different responses

• Reflective Dialogue: activities are not effective unless there is a period of reflection built into a program, so that participants can reflect on their actions and plan how they would do things in future

Course Material

You will receive an ERM Workbook and access to supporting ERM online courses and exam.

• The ERM Strategy component will be accompanied by a short reference handout on key standards and guidance documents relevant to ERM from North America, Europe and Australasia. Each such document will be briefly described, together with its status and (where relevant) its relationship to other documents. If possible, the relationships will be shown graphically. 

• The ERM Practitioner component will be accompanied by the course notes, reference handouts which will support the course material and an abbreviated glossary. It will also include a list of useful references (such as URLs for software certification scheme websites).

• The ERM Specialist component will be accompanied by the course notes and handouts supporting the course material, including useful external resources.

• The ERM Case component provides you with a series of case study exercises that gives participants a feel for what is involved, the information that needs to be gathered and processed, the outcomes expected and the amount of effort likely to be involved in a real world situation.
