This live online training course is designed for professionals who want to develop advanced expertise in project risk management and pursue the PMI-RMP® credential issued by PMI. The training takes you through the full lifecycle of project risk — from strategy and planning, through identification and analysis, to response, monitoring and control — in alignment with the official PMI Exam Content Outline.
Participants emerge with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to:
- Recognise and assess project risks (both threats & opportunities) across a variety of project environments.
- Develop and implement robust risk-management plans aligned with organisational context and stakeholder appetite.
- Employ qualitative and quantitative techniques, tools and documentation to manage project risks effectively.
- Monitor risk performance, adjust responses, and ensure projects remain on track, on budget, and aligned with objectives.
- Prepare for the PMI-RMP® certification exam by understanding the domains, tasks and enablers defined by PMI, and applying exam-related strategies and practices.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for professionals such as:
- Project managers and programme managers who want to deepen their risk-management capabilities.
- Risk managers, operational managers or business analysts whose role involves identifying, analysing or controlling project risks.
- Those working in high-risk industries (e.g., construction, finance, IT, engineering) who wish to gain recognised certification.
- Professionals aiming to distinguish themselves by earning the PMI-RMP credential and demonstrating advanced risk-management competence.
(According to one expert source: “It’s especially valuable in high-risk industries like IT, construction and finance.”)
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of this live online training, participants will be able to:
- Develop a risk-management strategy and plan: assess organisational context, set risk thresholds/ appetites, lead stakeholder risk-activities.
- Identify risks and opportunities: conduct assumption & constraint analyses, trigger and threshold identification, construct and maintain a risk register.
- Analyse risks: apply qualitative and quantitative techniques (e.g., Monte Carlo simulation, sensitivity analysis) to prioritise and measure risk impact.
- Plan and implement risk responses: develop mitigation, transfer, acceptance and exploitation plans; integrate responses into the project plan.
- Monitor and control risks: review risk status, update risk register and project docs, manage residual and secondary risks, and close out risk management.
- Apply exam-readiness techniques: understand the PMI-RMP® exam blueprint, recognise key domains and tasks, tackle practice questions, and improve time-management for the exam.

Eligibility Prerequisites for PMI-RMP® (per PMI)
Before applying for the PMI-RMP® credential, you must satisfy one of these sets of requirements
Option 1
- Secondary degree (high school diploma, associate’s degree or global equivalent)
- 36 months of project risk-management experience within the past 5 years
- 40 hours of formal education in project risk management
Option 2
- Four-year degree (bachelor’s degree or global equivalent)

- 30 hours of formal education in project risk management
Option 3
- (For bachelor’s or postgraduate degree from an accredited program) 12 months of project risk-management experience + 30 hours of education. (Note: This option may vary by region/provider)
Why Earn the PMI-RMP®?
- The credential recognises specialised expertise in assessing and identifying project risks, mitigating threats and capitalising on opportunities, beyond general project-management knowledge.
- Stand out in the job market: fewer than ~4,000 professionals worldwide currently hold the PMI-RMP® credential (based on one training provider’s data).
- Organisations value advanced risk-management skills especially in complex or high-uncertainty environments—earning PMI-RMP® signals to employers/stakeholders you can provide greater assurance and project resilience.
