EXAMINATION*
*Only those who successfully complete the exam will receive the
Certified Risk Based Auditor designation.
The IABFM™ Training Style
We are employing “best practice” training – called “blended training”. This involves classroom lecturing, highly intensive case study/role playing reviews, classroom interaction and feedback, and one-on-one coaching from
the facilitator. We have found this to be one of the most effective training methodologies to date and many large multinationals and training companies have already taken up this “blended learning” methodology. The
CRBA™ certification will be received approximately one month following the close of the workshop.
 Specifically, this course has been designed only after numerous meetings and discussions with executives and recruiters various industries.
 At the Individual level: Perhaps this is where it matters the most. For the individual that is participating in the certification course, completion of the course will provide the attendee with greater confidence in a
very practical professional skill, and thus increase the likelihood of success in his/her career advancement or job search.
