Worldwide ERC, the workforce mobility association, has announced that 176 of its members recently earned the Certified Relocation Professional (CRP) designation—representing a 79% pass rate. For the first time the exam was offered in an Internet-based testing format (IBT), along with the traditional paper option. Over 86% of test takers took advantage of the new IBT format in more than 90 cities worldwide. A total of 222 candidates took the test this year.

The CRP programme was introduced in 1990 to formally recognise relocation professionals' knowledge of the US workforce mobility process. CRPs retain their designation by maintaining membership in the Association and earning 30 recertification credit hours within each three-year period following their initial certification, ensuring they remain current on evolving industry trends.
