A Clearer Path to Your Professional Status

We’re excited to announce the launch of RIMPA Global’s updated Status Upgrade Process - now clearer, fairer and easier to navigate.

This refreshed approach is designed to better support you as you progress through your professional membership journey.

What’s New?

You can now expect:

  • Clearly defined criteria for ARIM, MRIM and FRIM

  • A transparent and consistent assessment process

  • Improved guidance and support at every stage

Why the Change?

Following a comprehensive review in 2022, and with Board endorsement in 2025, the Status Upgrade Process has been refined to simplify the experience while continuing to uphold RIMPA’s high professional standards. These improvements reflect member feedback and current industry best practice.
