Introduction
The ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager Certification (ISO 31000 LRM) is awarded by the Global Institute of Professional Management Certification (GIPMC). It covers enterprise risk management based on ISO 31000, the guidance standard on risk management. ISO publishes ISO 31000; this credential is awarded by GIPMC, not by ISO. Because ISO 31000 is guidance, organizations adapt and apply it rather than being certified against it.
GIPMC lists the credential for risk managers, senior managers and executives, governance and compliance professionals, auditors, project and portfolio managers, continuity leaders and consultants.
BlueMorpho Learning Solutions helps you understand the requirements, plan your study and enroll for ISO 31000 LRM. GIPMC conducts the exam and awards the certification.
