Risk Management, PRMIA

On April 2nd, in Beijing, David Millar, PRMIA's Chief Operating Officer, and Dr Huang Yu Hua, Chairman of PECC, signed a collaboration agreement whereby PECC will offer PRMIA's Professional Risk Manager (PRM) and Associate PRM exams and qualifications in Chinese as well as the full training programme for students wishing to pass these exams.

The Associate PRM will be enhanced with China-specific risk governance requirements and case studies and will be offered twice a year at TEHUA testing centres throughout Greater China. Successful candidates will receive both the Chinese certificates and the international certificate.

The Chinese PRM exam will follow the precise format of the existing English-language international exam, and successful candidates will attain the same PRM international designation recognized at all the world's risk management centres as proof of having attained the pinnacle of risk management expertise.

Given the current financial crisis, there is an increasing need for risk management professionalism, proof of expertise and an international standard of practice. By offering exams and training in Chinese, PECC will facilitate the development of risk management practices in China and ensure that Chinese skills are developed to international standards. PECC will also collaborate with PRMIA in the development of both the PRM and the APRM to ensure that Chinese risk management best practices are taken into account.
