ARMA Qualifications Unit Presenters Needed – Managing a Funding Portfolio and Data for Decision Making 

Thanks to everyone that responded to our recent call, we are now seeking presenters for the CRM Advanced Unit on Managing a Funding Portfolio and an additional speaker for the CRM Advanced Unit on Data for Decision Making. 

ARMA qualifications are a core part of the Association’s professional development offering, accredited by the ATHE. Our qualifications have been designed to support research administrators, managers and leaders to develop the skills they need to succeed in their roles, and to take their careers to the next level. Since launching in 2013, we have supported over 500 learners. To ensure we maintain the quality and integrity of the qualifications, and to keep pace with the growing demand, we are now looking to extend our pool of unit presenters for our Certificate in Research Management Foundation and Advanced qualifications. 

Unit presenters are usually existing ARMA members, who bring expertise in the particular topics covered by the qualifications. They may have already completed one of the qualifications, and now want to use that knowledge to develop further skills. The units will be presented online as webinars lasting 90-120 minutes. The webinar materials are already available, but can be repurposed to fit your presentation style. You can find out more about ARMA qualifications here. 

Being a qualifications unit presenter is an excellent way of keeping yourself ‘in the know’ about the fundamentals of our profession. It is an incredibly rewarding experience helping to support the next generation of RMA professionals, actively steering their learning and building their confidence. There is even a small remuneration for each presentation. 

If you would like to become one of our unit presenters, please email Katherine Carlyon at qualifications@arma.ac.uk no later than 9am on Monday 5th August with a short CV and supporting statement (no more 400 words) describing why you are interested in this opportunity and why you are suitable for this role.
