I am passionate about risk management and love to share that knowledge to help others in their professional development journey. I created this site to help remove the barriers that prevent people from obtaining their ARM™ and CPCU designation. The most significant barriers being cost and and finding a class that fits your schedule.
Unlike other online courses that just recite the textbook, I provide context using real-life examples to help your understanding. Having trouble understanding a concept, just reach out to me and we can set-up a time to discuss over a phone or video call. Let me help you achieve your designations, with a focus on the ARM™ to CPCU® Commercial Lines Pathway.
In addition to teaching, Erike is also a leader in the risk management and safety community serving as Chair for the US Technical Advisory Group for ISO 31000 – Risk Management, Convener for ISO TC 262 Workgroup 8 for Terminology, and recognized as the ASSP Safety Professional of the Year in 2012.
Erike has earned the CPCU® designation, is a Board Certified Safety Professional (CSP), and has earned the Associate in Risk Management (ARM) designation, as well as Enterprise Risk Management Certificated (ARM-E). He earned his master’s in public policy and Administration (MPPA) from California State University, Sacramento and BA from the University of California, Davis.

I wanted to give you a testimonial on all your helpful materials for the ARM. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the help. I couldn’t imagine having to study through an entire textbook- and even if I did I wouldn’t have been able to absorb as much information. The slides covered everything that was on the test! I wouldn’t choose any better way to prepare for the test. Again, thank you for your help and assistance in this journey of mine. Wouldn’t have been able to be successful if it wasn’t for your materials.


I achieved the ARM in 5 weeks–only using your website (new.armstudygroup.com) as study source. A couple months after I figured I'd set my crosshairs on the ERM-57. I reviewed your ERM 57 program over seven days and passed the test. Your program is concise, to the point, and invaluable.

The use of video courses will allow you to learn at your own pace and visualize complex topics. Real-life examples will provide practical insights, helping you apply your theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. This combination of self paced video courses and real-life examples offers a well-rounded learning experience, equipping you with the skills needed to excel in risk management.
