Eligibility

The PMI-RMP® certification is designed for professionals who want to become experts in risk management.

To be eligible for the exam, you must meet one of the two following requirements:

1. Bachelor's degree or higher, or equivalent, specifically 3,000 hours of experience in project management and 30 hours of formal risk management training.

2. Diploma of college studies (DEC) or high school diploma, or equivalent, specifically 4,500 hours of experience in project management and 40 hours of formal risk management training.

The exam is held at a Pearson Vue centre.

The cost of the exam is US$520 for members and US$670 for non-members.

 

Exam Availability

Please note that the exam, whether taken online or in person, is temporarily unavailable in Quebec. To take the exam, candidates must travel to a Pearson VUE test center located in Ottawa or Vermont.

This situation results from a change in the exam provider due to the French language law and is beyond our control. PMI has indicated that French-language versions of the exam will be made available again in the near future.
