    How to Get PMI-RMP Certified in ChicagoStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The PMI-RMP certification path in Chicago is a pure exam track: once your PMI application is approved, you proceed directly to the 115-question, 150-minute exam administered through Pearson VUE , no peer-panel review is required. From initial training to exam day typically takes 6-10 weeks, including application processing.

    Step 1: Confirm PMI-RMP Eligibility

    Verify you meet one of the three eligibility sets. Set A: high school or secondary school diploma (or global equivalent) + 36 months / 3 years of project risk management experience within the last 5 years + 40 hours of project risk management education. Set B: bachelor's degree or higher (or global equivalent) + 24 months / 2 years of project risk management experience within the last 5 years + 30 hours of project risk management education. Set C: bachelor's degree or higher from a GAC-accredited program + 12 months / 1 year of project risk management experience within the past 5 years + 30 hours of project risk management education. Education hours must be in project risk management topics specifically.

    Step 2: Enroll in a Learning Program

    Choose a learning format that aligns with your schedule and goals, such as a PMI-RMP bootcamp, live virtual sessions, self-paced learning, or corporate group training. Enrollment provides access to PMI-aligned courseware, practice assessments, and expert-led guidance.

    Step 3: Register on the PMI Candidate Portal

    Create or sign in to your PMI account at pmi.org. PMI membership (~$139/year) is optional but reduces the PMI-RMP exam fee from ~$670 to ~$520 and gives access to the PMI Risk Management Practice Guide and the PMI Standard for Risk Management.

    Step 4: Submit the PMI-RMP Application to PMI

    Submit your application via the PMI candidate portal: document your project risk management experience, list your 30 or 40 contact hours, and pay the application/exam fee (~$520 PMI member or ~$670 non-member). PMI typically processes applications within 5-10 business days. Unlike PfMP, no peer-panel review is required.

    Step 5: Sit the 115-Question PMI-RMP Exam via Pearson VUE

    Once approved, you receive a one-year exam eligibility window. Book your PMI-RMP exam through Pearson VUE , online proctored from your home or office in Chicago, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is 115 multiple-choice and scenario questions over 150 minutes, covering all five risk management domains.

    Step 6: Earn the PMI-RMP Credential and Plan CCR Renewal

    General

    Is the PMI-RMP certification worth it in Chicago?

    Yes. The PMI-RMP is a strong return for Chicago professionals, since finance, insurance, and infrastructure employers pay well for specialist risk skills. Risk manager roles in the city average around $135,000, with director bands reaching far higher, and certified risk specialists remain in short supply.

    What is the PMI-RMP certification and who is it for?

    The PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) is PMI's specialist credential in project risk management. It is designed for risk specialists, senior project managers, consultants, and PMO analysts who identify, assess, and control risk on projects and programs.

    Do I need a PMP before taking the PMI-RMP?

    No. PMP certification is not a prerequisite for the RMP. You can apply directly based on your risk management experience and education, though many RMP holders also hold the PMP because the two credentials complement each other.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for RMP training in Chicago?

    Invensis Learning is a PMI Authorized Training Partner offering PMI-aligned courseware, accredited trainers, flexible delivery, and guidance on the PMI application, helping you move from study to certified along a clear path.

    How long is the PMI-RMP certification valid?

    The RMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 30 PDUs in risk management topics within each three-year continuing certification requirements (CCR) cycle.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PMI-RMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, 32 contact hours, practice questions, mock exams, application guidance, and learner support. Lead with the value: you get an exam-focused program, then the exam fee is paid separately to PMI. Request a quote for current pricing.

    How much does the PMI-RMP exam cost?

    PMI bills the exam in USD under regional pricing, for reference around USD 520 for members and USD 670 for non-members; verify current fees at pmi.org. PMI individual membership costs roughly USD 139 per year and reduces the exam fee. Talk to a learning advisor about bundled options.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. The PMI exam fee is billed separately by PMI in USD and is not part of the training fee. This keeps training and certification costs transparent and lets you schedule the exam when you are ready.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams, and risk functions. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment methods and installment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer installment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PMI-RMP exam?

    The RMP exam is closed book with 115 multiple-choice questions (single-answer and multiple-answer) and a duration of 2.5 hours. It is based on the PMI-RMP Examination Content Outline effective January 2022 and is delivered via Pearson VUE.

    What are the PMI-RMP exam domains and their weights?

    The exam covers five domains from the current exam content outline: Risk Strategy and Planning (20%), Risk Identification (20%), Risk Analysis (23%), Risk Response (22%), and Monitor and Close Risks (15%).

    What are the eligibility requirements for the PMI-RMP?

    There are three sets. Set A: a secondary diploma plus 36 months of risk experience in the last 5 years and 40 hours of risk education. Set B: a bachelor's degree plus 24 months and 30 hours. Set C: a GAC-accredited degree plus 12 months and 30 hours. Experience must be in project risk management.

    Where can I take the PMI-RMP exam and how many attempts do I get?

    You can sit the exam at a Pearson VUE test center or online through OnVUE proctoring. You have up to three attempts within a one-year eligibility period from application approval.

    What is the passing score for the PMI-RMP exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed pass mark. The result is set through psychometric analysis and reported with domain-level feedback, so focus on broad mastery across all five domains.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the PMI-RMP training?

    You learn the full risk lifecycle across the five exam domains: risk strategy and planning, identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis, response planning, and monitoring and closing risks, applied to predictive, agile, and hybrid projects.

    Which risk tools and techniques are covered?

    The program covers identification techniques such as brainstorming, the Delphi technique, SWOT, and assumption analysis, and quantitative tools including Monte Carlo simulation, decision trees, sensitivity analysis, and expected monetary value.

    Do I need prior experience to benefit from this course?

    The training supports professionals at different levels, though the RMP exam itself requires documented risk experience. Trainers connect each domain to practical scenarios, so learners moving from general project management can follow along and apply the concepts.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PMI-RMP syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware maps to the PMI-RMP Examination Content Outline effective January 2022 and draws on the PMI Practice Standard for Project Risk Management and the PMBOK Guide.

    Does this training meet the PMI education requirement?

    The program provides 32 contact hours, which fully satisfies the 30-hour education requirement for Set B and Set C candidates. Set A candidates need 40 hours and should add at least 8 more hours of risk education.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enroll?

    You can enroll through the Invensis Learning website in minutes. Choose live online, classroom, or corporate group training, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor.

    Yes. Our trainers guide you on documenting your risk management experience and education hours for the PMI application, which reduces the risk of errors and delays before you schedule the exam.
