Approved CRP®/GMS®/GMS-T® Educational Criteria
Recertification credit will be granted for intermediate and advanced level talent mobility‐related courses/sessions. The course/session must be at a level appropriate for a person with two years or more of experience with talent mobility.
Credit can be granted for the following:
- Courses/seminars regarding talent mobility issues including, but not limited to, problem properties/disclosure issues, policy development, policy administration, household goods moving and storage issues, hot topics/trends, client/service provider relationships, corporate human resource issues as they relate to transferees, and family issues
- Courses/seminars regarding international relocation issues including, but not limited to, country‐specific information as it relates to transferees, short‐term assignments, localization, cultural/language training, tax/legal issues, immigration issues, help/crisis center management, and transferee selection
- Courses/seminars regarding global mobility issues including, but not limited to, immigration issues, “stealth” expatriates, country‐specific information, cultural/language training, tax and legal issues specific to cross‐border mobility, global talent selection and talent management, key benefits/concerns of each global assignment type, localization, repatriation issues, ROI of global assignments, COLA and benefit issues specific to global assignees, safety issues specific to expatriates, global client/service provider relationships, corporate human resources issues, and family issues specific to global assignments
Not Approved Educational Criteria for Both Designations
Credit will not be granted for the following:
- Company‐specific training programs for clients/vendors/employees relating solely to in‐house systems of management including, but not limited to, proprietary software and/or customer engagement solutions, as well as information pertaining to company or group‐specific long‐range goals or vision
- Customer‐service methods or business improvement methodologies (i.e., “Six Sigma”) that can be applied to a range of industries
- Motivational, professional/career development, or personal development courses/speakers that can relate to any industry (i.e., “Be Your Best Self,” “Take Your Career to the Next Level’, and/or “Dealing with Difficult People”)
- Courses designed to assist attendees in marketing services unrelated to employee mobility
Each session within a synchronous conference offering several sessions/breakouts will be reviewed individually and must each be at least 45 minutes in length to receive one recertification credit. All credits will be granted in whole-hour increments. For example, if a session/breakout runs one hour and 30 minutes, it is eligible for one hour of recertification credit. If it runs for one hour and 45 minutes, it is eligible for two hours of credit. At the completion of the approved course/session/event, the principal presenter, meeting organizer, and/or manager should provide registrants with the information to request credit by providing them with the pre-approved ID number that they can add to the education credit area of their database account. A recertification form will be provided to the meeting organizer with the appropriate information. The form may be copied and provided to individual registrants, or an email containing the appropriate information may be sent to registrants after the meeting concludes– the dissemination of the accreditation information is left to the discretion of the sponsoring organization.
The sponsoring organization must also provide WERC with a roster of attendees after the course’s completion (once per quarter for asynchronous on-demand classes). WERC will keep the roster(s) on file and compare it/them with the actual recertification requests that are submitted by individual designees. Rosters are not to be used in place of individual designee credit submissions unless directed to do so by WERC. Class rosters are never used for marketing purposes.
