Institute Of Risk Management
Institute of Risk Management (IRM) is a risk management professional education and training body. It is established in 2013, as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, and is governed by a Board of Directors elected from members with specialist non-member support. It has around 3000 members in more than 100 countries and has over 500 students studying risk management at any time.
The Institute provides both taught and distance learning education, training and professional development in risk management at a range of levels. IRM Membership (MIRM) is recognised worldwide as the sign of a risk management professional and is achieved through examination and relevant experience. Fellowship (FIRM) follows through accredited practical experience.
The Institute is the only organisation currently offering vocational post-graduate level qualifications designed from the ground-up to meet the challenge of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Many other bodies run courses focussed on individual areas of risk (e.g. insurable risk, risk in banks, health and safety, project risk, disaster recovery etc.) and in some cases there is the option to take an additional ERM paper but only IRM offers dedicated ERM qualifications.
