PMI-RMP training FAQs

What is risk management?

Risk management is the process of identifying what could go wrong in a project, assessing how likely it is, and planning what to do about it before it happens. A risk management job isn’t just damage control, it’s about proactive decision-making. A professional risk manager turns uncertainty into strategy. They keep projects stable, budgets safe, and teams focused when things change.

How much does the PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) cost?

The PMI-RMP exam costs $520 for PMI members and $670 for non-members. PMI membership is $149 per year plus a one-time $10 application fee. The PMI-RMP exam has 115 questions and a 150-minute limit. You only get one attempt at the risk management certification exam, so you’ll want to invest in high-quality training taught by industry experts, and be ready to pass on the first try.

Does the PMI-RMP pay well?

Yes, earning the PMI risk management certification is a great way to qualify for a higher salary. Professional risk managers learn special methods and techniques for predicting what can slow or stop a project, and how to make sure that never happens. Employers are always looking for someone who can protect budgets, timelines, and reputations, and the PMI-RMP proves those skills.

Is the PMI-RMP exam hard?

Yes, the PMI-RMP is a difficult exam that requires specialized knowledge and experience to pass.

This Risk Management course walks you through every domain with real-world examples and practice questions that mirror the exam.

Is the PMI Risk Management Professional cert worth it?

Absolutely. The PMI-RMP sets you apart as a strategic thinker who can lead through uncertainty.
