3 INTRODUCTION MRIA s Institute for Professional Development (the Institute) offers a series of courses made available to both members and non-members. Twelve (12) of these courses are mandatory for members working towards obtaining the Certified Marketing Research Professional (CMRP) designation and as such, are identified as the core courses. The core courses are available both in-class and online through the Institute. Note that all online course content was designed and authored by McGill University s Centre For Continuing Education Department with continuous consultation with, and review by, the MRIA Certification Advisory Committee and (in certain cases) by current in-class MRIA instructors. The level of knowledge and experience expected of a marketing research professional seeking the CMRP designation is described in the Core Curriculum Competency Requirements document. 1 These twelve core courses are also an excellent tool to train new and existing staff and ensure that they receive solid foundation of measurable knowledge in the Marketing Research industry. 1 To access the Core Curriculum Competency Requirements document online, visit: August 2011 Page 1 of 25
