Chinese Associate PRM Exam Now Available

To more effectively meet the needs of its members in Chinese-speaking countries, PRMIA is now offering its Associate Professional Risk Manager (Associate PRM) certificate exam and all accompanying study materials in Chinese. Click here to view this announcement in Chinese.

The Associate PRM, which was first introduced in English in 2008, is a certificate program intended for individuals entering the risk management profession, or those who interface with risk management disciplines on a regular basis, such as auditing, accounting, legal, and systems development personnel who want to understand fundamental risk management methods and practices. Designed to be mathematically and theoretically less detailed than the Professional Risk Manager (PRM) certification, the program covers the core concepts allowing non-specialists to interpret risk management information and reports, make critical assessments and evaluate the implications and the limitations of such results. PRMIA members who pass the Associate PRM exam will receive a certificate and are exempt from PRM Exam IV.

Easy to obtain study materials and widely available exam options provide Associate PRM candidates with optimum flexibility to fit the preparation and testing process into their individual work schedules. The exam is offered every business day of the year at Pearson Vue Testing Centers and their affiliates around the world.

Join the growing group of individuals worldwide who are making the Associate PRM the core competency for risk management. Click here to learn more about the Chinese exam, access study materials, or purchase exam vouchers.
