SARIMA Online Short-courses
Did you know that you can earn training points towards professional recognition when completing the accredited online short courses? The six online, digitised short courses will help you build your skills and enhance your credibility as a research management professional and the training points earned can be used when applying for or renewing a professional research management/administration designation.
Professional recognition constitutes an award of professional status, which acknowledges the expertise and accomplishment of the research manager/administrator through the review of a portfolio of evidence by peers on the autonomous International Professional Recognition Council (IPRC).
In 2021, the IPRC introduced a training point system to encourage research managers and administrators to participate in quality training to advance their competence. IPRC endorsed training is aligned to and supports the strengthening of competencies in the Professional Competency Framework (PCF) for research managers and administrators (https://iprcouncil.com/training-and-resources/). The training points can be used when applying for professional recognition and also when renewing or upgrading a professional designation. By completing the six accredited online short courses, the IPRC will issue a Certificate of Completion and you will earn 112 IPRC training points:
- Research Ethics and Integrity (20 training points)
- Fundamentals of Research Management (20 training points)
- Research Grants and Contracts Management (20 training points)
- Introduction to Intellectual Property, Technology Transfer and Commercialisation (12 training points)
