Global Partners
BTA is a proud partner with the BRMI which defines the global standard in business relationship management and has written two courses.

The approach behind this is the education of concepts, tools, and techniques and certification through an exam .

Delivered by BRMs
These courses are delivered by seasoned Business Relationship Managers, not just trainers. BTA has helped conceive the Practitioner level course from its inception. Therefore, Business Relationship Managers globally can draw on our rich experience.
Baxter Thompson Associates have teamed up with the Business Relationship Management Institute (BRMI) to define and train the competences required to be a successful Business Relationship Manager. We deliver the certification produced by the BRMI and we provide two courses:
- BRMP® course
- CBRM® course
Both to be accredited by APMG.
BRMP Course and Certification
The Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP®) training and certification programme is intended as a comprehensive foundation for Business Relationship Managers at every experience level. The training and certification are designed to provide a solid baseline level of knowledge.
BRMP® training is available as an online or an onsite class for individuals or corporate clients. The BRMP® certification exam is always included with the training and does not have any additional costs for the student. The class is a three day course. The exam is taken on the third day, at the end of the course, or alternatively, the exam can be scheduled to be taken at a later time with approval of the instructor.
The exam format is in closed book, 50 multiple choice questions and is limited to a 40 minute time duration.
CBRM Course and Certification
The Certified Business Relationship Manager (CBRM®) Practitioner Qualification programme is intended for the intermediate-to-advanced Business Relationship Manager. The main focus is on advancing to the role of Strategic Business Relationship Manager. As such, the primary focal point is on strategic business relationship management; leveraged to optimise business value to the enterprise.
To pursue the CBRM certification, a candidate must be a certified Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP®). The CBRM course is four days long, excluding the exam. This is an onsite class only. It is organised by either Baxter Thompson Associates or booked per corporate client.
The exam is based on a case study with 4 questions over 2.5 hours that can either be paper based or taken Online.
CBRM certification will be granted by the Business Relationship Management Institute (BRMI) for three years upon successfully passing the exam.
Continued CBRM certification after three years will depend on acceptable professional development training and experience. It will be validated by BRMI with a fee paid on the third anniversary of the exam to BRMI.
