Exam and credential pathway

The examination covers risk principles, the framework, process initiation and assessment, treatment, reporting, monitoring, review and communication. The applicable examination format follows the course rules; English is the default examination language.

PECB lists Provisional Risk Manager, Risk Manager, Lead Risk Manager and Senior Lead Risk Manager grades. The Lead Risk Manager grade requires five years of professional experience, including two years in risk management, and 300 hours of risk-management activity. Other grades have different experience thresholds; application requirements and the Code of Ethics remain applicable.

Passing the examination does not automatically issue the Lead Risk Manager credential.

Course completion, examination success, certification application and credential issuance are separate stages; the credential is not issued automatically.
