我应该参加PMI-RMP认证考试吗？

After passing the PMP exam, a thought may come to mind. Should you go for the PMI-RMP certification? And does it have any value?

Often I receive this query from professionals who have recently passed PMPs. This is a natural question because the PMI-RMP is the next sought after certification from the PMI; they want to achieve it.

There may be another reason.

你去过preparing for the PMP exam。你通过它,压力释放后,和你re not comfortable with it. Passing the PMP exam was a project for you. Now you are free and looking for another project, so you are thinking about applying for the PMI-RMP exam.

I wouldn’t suggest you go for this certification just for the sake of attaining it.

There is another category of aspirants who did not pass the PMP exam and are only interested in the PMI-RMP certification because of their job requirements.

Should I go for the PMI-RMP certification exam?

如果您参与risk managementand have genuine interest. This certification will improve your performance and increase your career prospects.

You can also gain this certification if you are involved in project management and are interested in following a career in risk management.

Is this certification valued in the industry?

是的，这是行业中有价值的认证，我目睹了这一点。当我使用PMI-RMP凭据更新简历时，我收到了更多的采访电话。

A search on any job portal for a risk management position will show you that many employers have recommended this credential and some have made it mandatory. This shows the value of this certification.

A few years back, PMP certification holders were rare and organizations were happy just to have them. These days, organizations are becoming more cautious. Project failure is a very costly affair, and they want to avoid it at all costs. Therefore, they prefer PMI-RMP certification holders over non-PMI-RMP certification holders to manage risks in their projects.

I hope I have answered your queries and now you are in a better position to decide whether you should get the PMI-RMP certification or not.
