The International Certificate in Risk Management is a broadly based introductory qualification. There are no entry requirements, so anyone with an interest in risk management can apply. It provides a practical platform to pursue a career in risk management and is also a base for further development for those already pursuing a career in a complimentary discipline.

Offered internationally on a flexible, distance learning basis, the Certificate provides a straightforward opportunity to obtain a recognised risk qualification independent of any one business sector. However, it is more than just a qualification; completion offers an entry route to IRM membership.

  • Provide an introduction to the theory and practice of risk management
  • Reflect current risk management thinking, regulations and practices and how they impact modern organisations across the world
  • Offer a comprehensive and balanced approach
  • Deliver a recognised entry level qualification and provide a basis for advancement to the IRM International Diploma
  • Provide eligibility to apply for the recognised membership grade of Certificant (CIRM)
