Should I Go for the PMI-RMP Certification Exam

通过PMP考试后，可能会想到一个想法。您应该去获得PMI-RMP认证吗？它有任何价值吗？

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. You pass it, the pressure is released, and you are not comfortable with it. Passing the PMP exam was a project for you. Now you are free and looking for another project, so you are thinking about applying for the PMI-RMP exam.

我不建议您仅仅为了获得此认证才能获得此认证。

还有另一类的有抱负者没有通过PMP考试，并且仅由于其工作要求而对PMI-RMP认证感兴趣。

Should I go for the PMI-RMP certification exam?

You should go for this certification if you are involved inrisk management并具有真正的兴趣。该认证将提高您的绩效并提高您的职业前景。

You can also gain this certification if you are involved in project management and are interested in following a career in risk management.

Is this certification valued in the industry?

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rtal for a risk management 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.

我希望我已经回答您的疑问，现在您可以更好地决定是否应该获得PMI-RMP认证。

The following information will help you understand the process if you are interested in the PMI-RMP certification.

你应该有4500小时的项目风险管理ment 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.

考试Fee

The exam fee for PMI members is 520 USD and 670 USD for non-members.

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 membershipbefore applying for the exam and make use of the many benefits it provides.

考试

The PMI-RMP exam consists of170个多项选择问题, including 20 pretest questions. These pretest questions are not added to your result but are instead used to check the validity of future exam questions. Since you cannot distinguish these questions, you should be ready to answer all 170 questions.

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

PMI-RMP证书有效期为三年。您将不得不赢得30个风险管理主题的PDU，才能再续签三年。

Benefits of a PMI-RMP Certification

根据PMI的《 2015年职业版》的调查结果：

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.
