Your path to continuous professional growth

THE FUTURE OF WORK IS THE FUTURE OF LIFELONG LEARNING

Your path to continuous professional growth

The FERMA rimap® dynamic learning path proposes an examination as a starting point. Once certified, it is important that risk professionals stay up to date but also increase their knowledge with tailor-made activities.
This is what we propose with the FERMA rimap® recertification: enhance your knowledge, skills, performance, relationships, and give value to the professional development activities you are attending.

Steps to staying certified: FERMA rimap® recertification process

The FERMA rimap® recertification is based on a CPD system. CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development:

  • Continuous because it consists of participating in eligible activities and collecting 50 points over a 3-year period to maintain your FERMA rimap® certification level
  • Professional because it all starts with a recognized European risk management certification for the risk professionals
  • Development because it provides value to your professional development activities by recording and tracking them throughout your career

Certificates are valid for 3 years from the date of passing the exam. The FERMA rimap® recertification is mandatory to maintain your rimap® alumni status and allow you to follow the dynamic learning path:

  • Record your professional development activities and keep track of CPD points at the FERMA rimap® Platform: rimap_Record CPD points
  • Renew your certificate every 3 years by inserting your professional development activities on our online platform
  • Stay informed of the CPD licensed local risk management events near you by looking at our FERMA Network CPD Points Events Calendar 2024 part of our website
  • Participate in online professional development activities (such as webinars)

Our accredited activities



To best fit your busy agenda, FERMA created a feasible CPD system based on 3 types of activities to allow you to maintain your FERMA rimap® certification.

  • FERMA Forum and Seminar, national association’s events and meetings, and CPD licensed partner events are multiple occasions to collect CPD points.
  • Through participation in conferences, scientific meetings, and courses organized by FERMA, its members, other associations, and partners.
  • Online and informal activities, such as reading, research, and networking, also contribute to your CPD points.
