PMI Risk Management Professional Launched

The Project Management Institute (PMI), vendor of the successful Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, is in the pilot phase of a new credential for risk management professionals. The PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) certification is for individuals who are charged with assessing and identifying project risks and preparing plans to mitigate them.

To qualify to sit for the PMP-RMP exam, you must first meet an experience requirement of 3000 to 4500 hours, depending on your educational background, as well as provide evidence of formal project risk management education. The exam contains 150 scored questions and has a 3.5 hour time limit. Topics covered include risk communication, risk analysis, risk response planning, and risk governance. The exam fee is $670 or €555 for nonmembers of PMI. Member pricing is $520 or €430. The certification handbook can be read on the PMI website (PDF).
If you are the pioneering type, be one of the first 100 people to take the exam and receive a 50% refund of your exam price and be entered in a drawing for $1,000. You must take the exam by October 31, 2008, to be eligible for this offer.
