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

    The PMI-RMP certification path in Richmond 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 Richmond, 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

    The PMI-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.

    Is the exam fee part of the training price?

    No. The PMI exam fee is paid separately to PMI through your PMI.org account. Our training fee covers the instruction, courseware, and preparation resources, not the exam itself.

    Exam

    What is the format of the PMI-RMP exam?

    The PMI-RMP exam is closed book with 115 multiple-choice questions (single and multiple answer) in 2.5 hours (150 minutes). It is delivered via Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test center, based on the PMI-RMP ECO effective January 2022.

    What are the PMI-RMP exam domains and weights?

    PMI offers three paths. Set A: high school diploma plus 36 months of project risk experience in the last 5 years and 40 hours of risk education. Set B: bachelor's degree plus 24 months and 30 hours. Set C: a GAC-accredited bachelor's plus 12 months and 30 hours.

    What is the passing score, and what if I do not pass?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score, reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback rather than a fixed percentage. You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility window, and our prep and practice materials support your retake if needed.

    Does this training meet the exam education requirement?

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

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the PMI-RMP training?

    The training covers the five ECO domains: Risk Strategy and Planning, Risk Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Response, and Monitor and Close Risks, plus risk tools such as SWOT, Monte Carlo simulation, decision trees, and expected monetary value across predictive, agile, and hybrid delivery.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    Anyone can attend the training to build risk skills and earn contact hours. To sit the PMI exam, however, you must meet PMI's experience and education requirements. The course is structured to support both newer practitioners and experienced risk professionals.

    What learning resources are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PMI-RMP ECO and Handbook, practice questions, mock exams, and revision aids such as quizzes and templates mapped to the exam domains.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?
