Attending formal PMI-RMP training in risk management is a requirement to apply for the PMI-RMP certification exam. The other two requirements are education and experience. You can refer to the last section to read more on PMI-RMP eligibility requirements.

However, in this blog post, I will discuss the PMI-RMP training requirement.

Before discussing the PMI training program, let us understand the PMI-RMP certification.

The PMI-RMP certification is the most prestigious certification for professionals involved with risk management activities. This certification is offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) in the USA.

This certification recognizes your expertise and competency in assessing and identifying project risks and managing these risks until the project ends.

PMI-RMP Training Program

You can attend this PMI-RMP training in a classroom, online, or through a hybrid program.

Each training method has its advantages and disadvantages. However, I find online training programs to be better than other training methods. It offers many benefits that other training methods do not:

  • They are affordable.
  • You can complete the course at your own pace.
  • Seat availability is not an issue here.
  • You can study from any location.

Considering these advantages, I recommend you join an online training program to earn your formal contact hours for risk management education.

During my PMI-RMP exam preparation, I searched the Internet extensively for an affordable online training program to complete my PMI-RMP training, but I did not find any.

I attended a classroom training program for my PMP exam and decided not to repeat that again. This time, I was determined to join an online training program. However, my efforts were in vain, and I did not find any affordable online PMI-RMP training programs.

Therefore, I joined a hybrid training program.

Today, things are different, and you can find a few online training programs for the PMI-RMP exam.

Some of them have not been approved by the PMI. Although they might be genuine, and there is nothing wrong with earning contact hours from them, I suggest you go for PMI-approved training providers.

The PMI reviews training materials for these providers to ensure the quality of the training. Also, if you receive an audit, you won’t need to worry about it.

Now, let’s look at an online and PMI-approved PMI-RMP formal training program.
