Professional Certification • Globally-Recognized
Unique Education • Indispensable Resource
Designed in Collaboration Between Industry and Academia
Revenue management is a complex subject. The CRMA designation shows that you have explored revenue management’s intricacies and mastered the basics and the nuances intrinsic to it in this decade.
The CRMA will separate you from the pack and demonstrate to employers that you have mastered the foundations of revenue management… from forecasting and displacement analysis to rate and performance measurement.
Created and written in partnership between industry leaders who are practicing revenue management every day and the academic leaders preparing new talent, you can count on the CRMA Study Guide to give you the most current, accurate insights into how hotels are leveraging revenue management today — and will in the future.
The CRMA is a stepping stone to the Certified Revenue Management Executive (CRME) certification. When you’re ready to pursue this advanced certification, your CRMA will give you points on the CRME application as well as a $100 discount on the CRME.
