Background

The IRM Certificate is the result of extensive work with major employers of risk professionals and IRM's own membership to identify and design an entry-level qualification that spans the wide range of areas today's risk professionals are involved with. The first intake of Certificate students took place in the autumn of 2005, and the new International Certificate in Risk Management was launched in Spring 2008.
