After passing the PMP exam, a thought may come to mind. Should you go for the PMI-RMP certification? And does it have any value?
Often I receive this query from professionals who have recently passed PMPs. This is a natural question because the PMI-RMP is the next sought after certification from the PMI; they want to achieve it.
There may be another reason.
You have beenpreparing for the PMP exam。您通过它,释放压力,您对此不满意。通过PMP考试是一个适合您的项目。现在,您可以自由并正在寻找另一个项目,因此您正在考虑申请PMI-RMP考试。
I wouldn’t suggest you go for this certification just for the sake of attaining it.
There is another category of aspirants who did not pass the PMP exam and are only interested in the PMI-RMP certification because of their job requirements.
Should I go for the PMI-RMP certification exam?
You should go for this certification if you are involved inrisk managementand have genuine interest. This certification will improve your performance and increase your career prospects.
如果您参与项目管理,并且有兴趣遵循风险管理职业,您也可以获得此认证。
该认证在行业中有价值吗?
Yes, this is a valued certification in the industry, and I have witnessed it. I received many more interview calls when I updated my CV with the PMI-RMP credential.
搜索任何工作门户为风险管理position will show you that many employers have recommended this credential and some have made it mandatory. This shows the value of this certification.
A few years back, PMP certification holders were rare and organizations were happy just to have them. These days, organizations are becoming more cautious. Project failure is a very costly affair, and they want to avoid it at all costs. Therefore, they prefer PMI-RMP certification holders over non-PMI-RMP certification holders to manage risks in their projects.
I hope I have answered your queries and now you are in a better position to decide whether you should get the PMI-RMP certification or not.
The following information will help you understand the process if you are interested in the PMI-RMP certification.
Eligibility
You should have 4,500 hours of project risk management experience if you hold a secondary degree (high school diploma or equivalent), and you must attend 40 hours of formal project risk management training.
You should have 3,000 hours of project risk management experience if you hold a four-year degree (bachelor’s degree or equivalent), and you must attend 30 hours of formal project risk management training.
Exam Fee
PMI成员的考试费为520美元,非会员的考试费用为670美元。
The PMI membership fee is 139 USD, so if you become a member of PMI and apply for the PMI-RMP exam, you will save 11 USD. Therefore, I suggest you get aPMI会员资格before applying for the exam and make use of the many benefits it provides.
Exam
The PMI-RMP exam consists of170 multiple-choice questions,包括20个预测试问题。这些预测试的问题不会添加到您的结果中,而是用于检查未来考试问题的有效性。由于您无法区分这些问题,因此您应该准备回答所有170个问题。
The time allotted for the exam is 3.5 hours, and there is no scheduled break. You can take a break but the time is included in your exam duration.
CCR Cycle
The PMI-RMP certificate is valid for three years. You will have to earn 30 PDUs in risk management topics to renew it for another three years.
Benefits of a PMI-RMP Certification
According to the PMI’s Pulse of the Profession edition 2015 findings:
83% percent of organizations that are high performers in project management practice risk management frequently while just 49% of low performers do so. The practice contributes to a handsome payoff: high performers meet their goals 2.5 times more often and waste 13 times less money than low performers.

This certification helps organizations perform better. It makes them proactive in managing risks, improves the control of projects, minimizes surprises and losses, and improves organizational resilience. It improves stakeholders’ confidence and trust in you and your organization.
Summary
The PMI-RMP certification is the most renowned certification in risk management, and possessing it validates your experience and knowledge. This certification enhances your skills and makes you more employable. I recommend you apply for the PMI-RMP certification if you are involved with risk management.
P.S.有关最新信息,请参阅PMI-RMP手册。如果发生任何冲突,则假设PMI-RMP手册中给出的信息是正确的。

I am presenting the RMP on August; When is the exam changing to the 6th pmp edition? Thanks!
Hello Tania,
It is still based on the 5th edition of the PMBOK Guide and the latest practice standard for risk management.
Hi Fahad,
I am planing to start preparation for RMP certification. I am checking if PMBOK 5th ed is still in use for RMP exam not 6th ed. Plus if 2009 risk mgt standard is latest with rita 2nd edt?
Your answer will be a great help.
Thanks
Which certification exam should be given to high school students
您可以教给他们基础知识,但这些认证是针对专业人士的。
大家好,
我已经完成了35小时的PMP培训课程,可以用于PMI-RMP资格标准,并且在自学之后直接申请考试?
No. For the PMI-RMP exam you will have to attend the training.
I just passed the RMP exam this morning. I originally passed the PMP in June 2014. Please let me know if you have any questions.
祝贺Terrin通过PMI-RMP考试。
Which did you find more difficult, PMP or RMP, testing wise I mean.
据我所知,PMI-RMP考试比PMP考试要艰难。
您花了多少时间为考试做准备?您是否找到了风险管理的工作空缺?它使您受益吗?与PMP有何不同?
It is different from the PMP as the focus is on risk management. It is highly valued, after passing the exam, I updated my resume on some job portals and started getting many calls and so I had deactivated my account.
What types of study materials did you need to use?
Hello Bob,
You can read the following lessons learned:

嗨,我只想知道我应该阅读整个PMBOK以通过PMI RMP考试或PMI只有RMP指南就足够了吗?我的意思是在考试中是否存在与其他知识领域有关的问题?
You should read the complete PMBOK Guide with more focus on Risk related topics.
Are you a PMP?
Hi …. the blog is really informative. The PMI-RMP question bank was last updated in Jan 2017; also its based on the PMBOK 5. Can you please let me know when would the latest version be available which I assume would be based on PMBOK 6?
When the exam will shift to the new version, I will also update my PMI-RMP Question Bank.
To date, there is no news from the PMI that when they will change the exam.
This is so helpful! I see there are some differences of opinion as to which exam is harder, PMP or RMP. If you’ve recently taken the PMP shouldn’t the learning curve and thus study time for RMP be less? Is RMP more quantitatively based, more situational/scenario based than PMP, or about the same?
谢谢您的网站Fahad。它对PMP有很大帮助,接下来我很高兴进入RMP!
RMP is comparatively tougher than the PMP. Prepare well for the exam.
Good luck.
Absolutely informative…thanks
不客气。
Hi does anyone possibly have the pdf version of the PMI-RMP book by Rita Mulcahy they can please kindly share with me?
Sharing these kind of material is illegal. Please do not ask for it. If you need this book, buy it.
亲爱的法赫德,
I’m PMP certified and I passed my RMP exam yesterday, I would really thank you for two points :
1-your simple and direct way to explain the cloudy points of management.
2-I did practice many questions on RMP and I found that yours are the nearest to the exam topic and you’ll be featured if you add more questions related to the “Critical Succes Factors of the Practice Standard for Risk Management”
My question is:
By passing my RMP exam Can I claim for PMP PDU’s? and for how many PDU’s?
Thanks Ahmad for your comment and I will surely implement your suggestions in the next update.
Yes you can claim to full PDUs.
我是PMP认证的,我可以使用RMP使用PMP联系时间?manbetx2.0手机安卓版
You can use hours you earned for risk management concepts.
我准备的考试策略: -
首先,我研究了PMBOK第五版(在Stake Holder管理,沟通,质量和采购管理方面有更多的扩展)
Second I studied the Rita Mulcahy Second Edition Book of Risk Management
Third I practised the Mock Tests from U certify website and PDF RMP Sample tests by Fahad
How I Crack the Exam:
首先,我尝试了花费更少的时间,我可以正确回答的问题(我跳过了长度的场景和有问题的问题)
其次,我尝试了跳过的漫长而有问题的问题,我可以正确回答100%。
Third I attempted the remaining questions which I am not sure and I may answer 50% or 0 %probability correctly.
Fourth I took a break for 10 min and reviewed/double checked the questions which I answered correctly.
Be honest I skipped around 5 to 6 questions related to problematic which I felt difficult for me(related to probability distribution/latin hyercube).
I attempted remaining problematic questions like related to PERT Technique, quantitative analysis(EMV), Cost and Schedule performance Index.
恭喜Muneswara通过PMI-RMP考试,并感谢您分享您的课程
Hi Fahad,

Yes, PMI-RMP is tougher than the PMP exam. For the online PMP training you can refer to my blog post:

Congratulations Deevan on passing the PMI-RMP exam.
Hi Deevan,
I took the PMI-RMP a few days ago and didn’t pass. I took the prep course with a company who utilized obselete materials which didn’t cover a lot of the questions on the exam which involver Latin Hypercube, Risk Manager responsibilities, Probability distribution etc. I am in the process of purchasing the two books you suggested and need to confirm that these topics are covered before I purchase them. Can you please confirm?? Also the books I found say they were written in 2005. Is this the same book you purchased? Awaiting you response. Thanks in advance.
Hi Fellows ,,, I passed the PMP exam and I wish to take the risk management exam too but I have a question ,,, I never had dedicated 3000 hrs of risk management ,, what should I do? just wait till I can have these hours? Thanks and all the best
You cannot apply for the PMI-RMP exam until you have required experience. Get the experience then apply for it.
Hi Fahad,
On a similar note to this post, what are your thoughts regarding preparing for a PMI-ACP exam once you clear the PMP exam.
I would like to know your inputs, pros and cons, how to prepare etc
Thanks
I am not involved in agile methodologies, so can not give you any input on it.
Hello Fahad;
您能解释一下如何通过2015年12月发布的新CCR计划阅读一本书的PDU吗?
Thank you.
I did not report it in new CCR Cycle, but I believe that the procedure will be the same. Note down the time invested and identify the side of triangle and you will be good to go.
Thanks for this valuable information I already prepare myself for the exam .
You are welcome Mohamed.
Hey, can you tell me which edition of PMBOK is used for RMP certification? 5th or 6th?
Is 2009 latest risk mgt standard?
