CERTIFICATIONS
Keep Your IRMI Certification in Good Standing
Once you earn your IRMI certification, you must engage in an ongoing continuing education process to maintain it (See our certification terms of use for details). This involves obtaining 6 hours of approved renewal credit every 12 months and paying any applicable renewal fees. You may obtain this credit in one of five ways.
- Completing online reaccreditation courses in the IRMI Learning Center
- Completing a core course for another IRMI Certification
- Attending an IRMI Conference
- Watching IRMI Conference sessions on demand
- Attending another educational event that has been approved for certification reaccreditation

Take an Online Reaccreditation Course
The IRMI Learning Center offers a number of risk management and insurance courses covering a range of topics. In most cases, one of these courses is all that is necessary to satisfy your 6-hour continuing education renewal requirement, and most also qualify for insurance CE if you need it. Your renewal fee is included in the cost of the online course.
Complete a Core Course for another IRMI Certification
Interested in earning additional IRMI credentials? Take any Core Course required to earn a new certification, notify WebCE, and pay a discounted renewal fee to apply it to your existing certification's continuing education requirement.
Renew your Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS®) certification through one of these exclusive course packages!
You can renew your CRIS® certification with two dynamic courses, a special collaboration between MindForge, IRMI, and WebCE. MindForge's Mastering Construction Crews' Field Safety I and the new Mastering Construction Crews' Field Safety II offer essential safety topics and training to mitigate the 'fatal 8' hazards and enhance on-site safety.
Note: MindForge's Mastering Construction Crews' Field Safety I is not a prerequisite. You can take either course to renew your CRIS certification.
MindForge Mastering Construction Crews' Field Safety I
What Will I Learn?
- A deeper understanding of the hazards construction workers face every day.
- Practical tactics for contractors to mitigate the “fatal 8” hazards.
- A framework called the OODA Loop to increase awareness.
NEW MindForge Mastering Construction Crews' Field Safety II
What Will I Learn?
- Improved techniques to reduce injuries and enhance worker safety on the job site.
- Practical strategies to identify and mitigate a wide range of construction hazards.
- Training focused on increasing awareness and preventing accidents in critical situations.
Attend an IRMI Conference
IRMI hosts several in-person and virtual conferences focusing on the risk management and insurance challenges faced by specific industries. Attendance at an IRMI conference will satisfy your certification continuing education requirement for that year.
Current IRMI conferences are as follows:
- IRMI Construction Risk Conference (CRC)
- IRMI Emmett J Vaughan Agribusiness Conference (AgriCon)
- IRMI Energy Risk and Insurance Conference (ERIC)
- IRMI Transportation Risk Conference (TRC)
Your renewal fee is included with your IRMI conference registration.
View IRMI Conference Sessions On Demand
Access exclusive educational content from recent IRMI events and watch conference sessions on your own schedule from any location. Watching 5 or more on-demand sessions will fulfill your annual continuing education requirement, and your renewal fee is included.
Attend Other Approved Events
You may attend educational events that are not hosted by IRMI to obtain your 6 hours of certification continuing education credit. Examples of qualified educational events include:
-
- In-house training provided by your employer
- Classroom or online certification core or renewal courses offered by state “Big I” associations
- Annual educational conferences hosted by industry associations (e.g., IIABA, IAIP, PIA, PLUS, PRIMA, or RIMS)
- Courses, seminars, or webinars leading to or renewing industry designations
However, the event must be approved for certification reaccreditation. It is best to obtain preapproval to be sure the event qualifies by submitting the following information to [email protected].
It is your responsibility to submit the information needed for approval and provide the required proof of attendance. A separate renewal fee is also required to keep your certification in good standing.
