Registered Risk Practitioner
What is the Registered Risk Practitioner
Scheme?
The Registered Risk Practitioner (RRP) Scheme is designed to
recognize the experience and qualifications of risk management
practitioners, from a range of professional backgrounds, and to
record their continuing professional development in the field.
Developed by Alarm, in conjunction with AIRMIC and the Institute
of Risk Management, the RRP scheme is open to risk practitioners
from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
The
RRP scheme acknowledges the fact that many risk practitioners have
developed into corporate risk management roles, often from a
professional background, and holding qualifications, in related
areas such as insurance, occupational health and safety,
environmental or project management, accounting or auditing,
security or fire safety, or as company secretaries and
administrators.
The scheme therefore builds on the qualifications and
designations awarded by a number of professional institutes and
academic bodies, including the Institute of Risk Management, the
Chartered Insurance Institute, the Institution of Occupational
Safety and Health, and many others.
The Registered Risk Practitioner scheme offers a means by which
professional standing and CPD in risk management can be recognised
and rewarded. The scheme is a register that awards RRP status
to corporate risk practitioners who can demonstrate that they
have:
- A risk management or related qualification
- A minimum level of professional experience
- Continuing professional development
What are the benefits of achieving RRP
status?
As the profession of corporate risk management has developed, so
too has the demand for increased professionalism in the
development and delivery of risk management solutions. With
rapid changes in the nature and types of risk, the legislative
environment and the expectations of stakeholders, there is a need
for the risk practitioner to be able to demonstrate his/her
professional standing and provide evidence of continuing
professional development (CPD).
Achieving the designation of Registered Risk Practitioner helps
meet these requirements by providing a recognised competency level
for risk practitioners, which:
- Demonstrates competency levels for the purposes of internal /
external audit
- Enhances candidate’s profiles with employers, prospective
employers, clients and other stakeholders
- Improves status and recognition amongst your professional
peers
- Encourages individual professional development
Who is eligible to apply?
Risk practitioners holding any of the listed RRP eligible
qualifications, and who can demonstrate an appropriate level of
professional experience and continuing professional development in
the field of risk management, are eligible to apply for Registered
Risk Practitioner status.
