West Warwick, RI Two Arpin Group employees have passed the Worldwide ERC Certified Relocation Professional examination: Jean Gong, director of business development, West Coast, and Allison Rathbun Dickson, assistant vice president, business development. Gong and Rathbun Dickson will now be recognized as Certified Relocation Professionals.

“We are proud of the commitment to continued professional excellence that Jean and Allison have demonstrated by earning the CRP designation,” said Bridget Ritchie, Arpin’s vice president of global business development. 

“They have both excelled as leaders at Arpin and we are excited for their continued professional growth.”

The Certified Relocation Professional exam tests candidates’ command of corporate mobility policies and programs, real estate, tax considerations, transferee counseling and other related services. The CRP designation builds a uniform understanding of the many intricate practices involved in employee mobility. Credentialed Certified Relocation Professionals demonstrate a mastery of relocation skills and show a commitment to ongoing professional development and education.

The CRP exam is offered annually via an internet-based testing format at test centers throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Approximately 70 percent of this year's 169 candidates earned a passing score of 500 or higher. The complete list of CRP recipients for 2018 may be viewed by company name here.
