Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) Exam Prep Course

This course runs from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. each day except Friday which is from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (4.5 Days)

Unlike the PMP® Certification Prep course which is primarily designed to help candidates pass the exam, this class is also for project managers who want a comprehensive course covering all aspects of Risk Management. Participants are not required to register for the exam to attend this course. With your advanced skills in risk management, you perform a specialized function attuned to the needs of a project environment that is increasingly global, virtual and complex. The PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP)® highlights your ability to identify and assess project risks, mitigate threats and capitalize on opportunities. Gain and Maintain your PMI-RMP:

• The certification exam has 170 multiple-choice questions and you have 3.5 hours to complete it.
• To maintain your PMI-RMP, you must earn 30 professional development units (PDUs) in risk management topics every three years.

Prerequisites to Sit for the Exam:

• Four-year degree (bachelor’s degree or the global equivalent).
• 3,000 hours of project risk management experience.
• 30 hours of project risk management education.

Course Overview:

Prepare for the PMI® Risk Management Professional certification exam (PMI-RMP®) through this four day and a half day, instructor led course. This course offers an in-depth look at risk management through a PMI® perspective, and is delivered in a combination of lecture and hands-on learning format.

In addition to classroom instruction, Knowledge Source Inc. offers an engaging online version of the course, designed to enhance learning through interactive activities.

After the class, you’ll receive one full year of access to our guided online learning platform—complete with all course materials, practice exam questions, quizzes, flashcards, and more.

The best part? We’ve integrated an AI-powered tutor to help you prepare at your peak for exam day. This smart tool can guide your study plan, explain tricky concepts, and give you personalized practice—making your learning more efficient and effective.

Here’s a look at what it can do for you (I’m genuinely excited about some of these AI features—they’re a real game-changer!):

   • Use it as a 24/7 study helper for instant explanations.
   • Prepare for exams without waiting for instructor feedback.

Prerequisites:

Familiarity with project management concepts and working experience with project management are required. Those who have earned the PMP® credential are at a specific advantage for earning their PMI-RMP®; however, being a PMP® is not a prerequisite for attending. Working knowledge of office productivity tools is desirable but not essential. Experience with a specific project management software tool is not required. Target Student: This course will benefit anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of managing risk, and will focus on those preparing for PMI’s® certification exam and obtaining the PMI-RMP® credential. The final day will end with a full length practice exam and question review.
