Certified Practising Risk Manager - CPRM® (5+ Years’ Experience in Risk Management)
CPRM® certification has been developed to meet the demand for qualified risk professionals with a depth of relevant experience. Organisations are placing greater reliance on having competent risk managers to guide the design and implementation of the risk management framework. A CPRM® is to have knowledge of how to integrate risk management into business processes and systems within an organisation. Further, they need to demonstrate the application of risk across a broad range of risk management fields, for example, governance, people, customers and markets, operations, supply/procurement etc.
