ISO 31000 Risk Manager is a PECB credential for professionals who apply the ISO 31000 risk management process. You earn it by completing the three-day course, passing the exam and showing two years of work experience, one of them in risk management, plus 200 hours of risk management activities.
ISO says ISO 31000 provides guidelines and cannot be used for certification, so an organization cannot be ISO 31000 certified. PECB certifies people instead, and Risk Manager is the first credential in the ladder that asks for work experience.
What the course and exam involve
The course runs three training days, followed by the exam. PECB's brochure gives the exam as two hours and lists three domains: the fundamental principles and concepts of risk management, establishing the risk management framework, and applying the risk management process.
What if you have no experience yet?
You can still sit the exam. With no professional or risk management experience, you would hold the Provisional Risk Manager credential, and you can move up as your hours and years build. The experience answer has the full table.
Practitioner note: Risk Manager suits the person who runs the risk register and workshops day to day. If you will own the framework and report to the board, look at the Lead Risk Manager credential instead.
