Risk certificates
Overview
Risk management is a distinct and specific area within APM’s Body of Knowledge (316kb) and a key control function within any project or programme. APM offers Project Risk Certificates at levels 1 and 2, which are designed for project and programme managers who are involved in project risk management at any level.
Assessment outline
The level 1 certificate is a multiple choice paper which is designed to determine an individual’s knowledge of project risk management. Obtaining this certificate is sufficient for an individual to contribute effectively towards the formal process of project risk management.
The level 2 certificate is a written examination designed to determine an individual’s capability in project risk management, sufficient to allow an individual to undertake formal project risk management.
What is assessed?
The topics and subjects to be assessed in the risk management certificate examinations include defining risk management and understanding its terminology, its processes, roles and responsibilities, ownership. Candidates will also be required to demonstrate an appreciation of risk prioritisation, planning, assessment, and reporting.
The syllabus defines the topics that a candidate taking the project risk management examinations is expected to be knowledgeable of (Level 1) and capable in (Level 2).
Candidates are expected to have read, or be familiar with the APM Body of Knowledge, BS 6079 2000 Parts 1 and 3, and the APM PRAM Guide.
Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and competence in project risk management.
