“Completing the IRM Level 1 ERM Foundation exam has been transformative, enriching my understanding of risk management. Embarking on the Level 1 journey was a pivotal moment in my career. Nominated by our HRD, owing to my tenure associated with CRO of Power Grid since 2016, this opportunity was both an honour and a challenge. The intensive training laid the groundwork for my successful attempt at the certification exam, achieving an All-India Rank. Learning the importance of a holistic approach to risk management and integrating it into organisational strategy has been invaluable. The support and study materials provided were indispensable and enhanced my learning experience. Applying these principles at work has refined our risk assessment processes, contributing to a more secure framework. For future candidates, immersion in study materials and engagement with the risk management community are essential. Encouraged by my Level 1 achievement, I eagerly anticipate pursuing IRM’s Level 2 qualification to further my professional development and am excited for the journey ahead.”

“My experience of embarking on the IRM’s Level 1 ERM Foundation Exam journey was truly an enriching one. Throughout this journey, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of risk management principles & practices, encompassing identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies. The study materials and especially the study support sessions explaining various case studies and citing real life examples have been influential in my understanding of the importance of risk management in an organisation. I am following my father’s footsteps who has completed all the five levels and is a Certified Fellow of the Institute of Risk Management. I too look forward to completing all the levels of the IRM’s exam starting with the Level 2 at the earliest and earning the IRMCert designation.”

In today’s environment, where businesses across various sectors face an increasing number of unexpected challenges, the development of a comprehensive approach to risk management is essential. In order to successfully navigate these uncertainties, it’s crucial to foster a strong and resilient risk management culture. This involves a strategic emphasis on enhancing risk intelligence as a critical skill set among students and professionals at all levels and across all functions. By doing so, these individuals can significantly contribute to their organizations’ capabilities to manage risks effectively. The IRM’s Global ERM exams are designed to equip candidates with the necessary expertise and knowledge in this area, ensuring they are well-prepared to add value and strengthen their organizations’ governance, risk and compliance management.
