There are no entry requirements or prerequisites for enrollment. Our programs provide individuals of all levels the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop new skills without needing prior qualifications or specific experience.
6. I want to learn more about the exam.
You can take the exam online from your home or office, in all countries.
It is an open book exam. Risk and compliance management is something you must understand and learn, not memorize. You must acquire knowledge and skills, not commit something to memory.
You will be given 90 minutes to complete a 35-question exam. You must score 70% or higher.
The exam contains only questions that have been clearly answered in the official presentations.
All exam questions are multiple-choice, composed of two parts:
a. A stem (a question asked, or an incomplete statement to be completed).
b. Four possible responses.
In multiple-choice questions, you must not look for a correct answer, you must look for the best answer. Cross out all the answers you know are incorrect, then focus on the remaining ones. Which is the best answer? With this approach, you save time, and you greatly increase the likelihood of selecting the correct answer.
TIME LIMIT - This exam has a 90-minute time limit. You must complete this exam within this time limit, otherwise the result will be marked as an unsuccessful attempt.
BACK BUTTON - When taking this exam you are NOT permitted to move backwards to review/change prior answers. Your browser back button will refresh the current page instead of moving backward.
RESTART/RESUME – You CANNOT stop and then resume the exam. If you stop taking this exam by closing your browser, your answers will be lost, and the result will be marked as an unsuccessful attempt.
SKIP - You CANNOT skip answering questions while taking this exam. You must answer all the questions in the order the questions are presented.
We do not send sample questions or past exams. If you study the presentations, you can score 100%.
a. When you are ready to take the CRCMP exam, you must follow the steps: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/CRCMP_Certification_Steps_1.pdf
b. When you are ready to take the CISRCP exam, you must follow the steps: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/CISRCP_Certification_Steps_1.pdf c. When you are ready to take the CRCMP(Re)I exam, you must follow the steps: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/CRCMP_Re_I_Certification_Steps.pdf d. When you are ready to take the CC(GRC)P exam, you must follow the steps: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/CC_GRC_P_Certification_Steps_1.pdf e. When you are ready to take the TSecTPro exam, you must follow the steps: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/TSecTPro_Certification_Steps_1.pdf7. How comprehensive are the presentations? Are they just bullet points?
The presentations are not bullet points. They are effective and appropriate to study online or offline.
8. Do I need to buy books to pass the exam?
No. If you study the presentations, you can pass the exam. All the exam questions are clearly answered in the presentations. If you fail the first time, you must study more. Print the presentations and use Post-it to attach notes, to know where to find the answer to a question.
9. Is it an open book exam? Why?
Yes, it is an open book exam. Risk and compliance management is something you must understand and learn, not memorize. You must acquire knowledge and skills, not commit something to memory.
10. Do I have to take the exam soon after receiving the presentations?
No. You can take the exam at any time. Your account never expires, granting you lifetime access to the training program. Any updates to the training material will be provided to you free of charge.
11. Do I have to spend more money in the future to remain certified?
No. Your certificate never expires. It will remain valid, without any additional costs or the need to retake the exam in the future.
12. Ok, the certificate never expires, but things change.
Recertification would be a great recurring revenue stream for the association, but it would also be a recurring expense for our members. We resisted the temptation to "introduce multiple recurring revenue streams to keep business flowing", as we were consulted. No recertification is needed for our programs.
Things change, and this is the reason you need to become (at no cost) a member of the association. Every week you can visit the "Reading Room" of the association and read our newsletter with updates, alerts, and opportunities, to stay current.
13. How many hours do I need to study to pass the exam?
To ensure you have learned the details, you should study the presentations at least twice. The average time required is:
- 37 hours for the CRCMP program,
- 26 hours for the CISRCP program,
- 35 hours for the CC(GRC)P program,
- 34 hours for the CRCMP(Re)I program, and
- 12 hours for the TSecTPro program.
This is the average time needed. There are important differences among members.
14. I want to receive a printed certificate. Can you send me one?
Unfortunately this is not possible. You will receive your certificate via email in Adobe Acrobat format (pdf), with a scannable QR code for verification, 7 business days after you pass the exam. A business day refers to any day in which normal business operations are conducted (in our case Monday through Friday), excluding weekends and public holidays.
The association will develop a dedicated web page for each certified professional (https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/Your_Name.html). In your dedicated web page we will add your full name, all the certificates you have received from the association, and the pictures of your certificates.
When third parties scan the QR code on your certificate, they will visit your dedicated web page, and they will be able to verify that you are a certified professional, and your certificates are valid and legitimate.
Professional certificates are some of the most frequently falsified documents. Employers and third parties need an easy, effective, and efficient way to check the authenticity of each certificate. QR code verification is a good response to this demand.
You can print your certificate that you will receive in Adobe Acrobat format (pdf). With the scannable QR code, all third parties can verify the authenticity of each certificate in a matter of seconds.
15. Which is the refund policy?
The association has a very clear refund policy: You have the option to ask for a full refund up to 60 days after the payment. If you do not want one of our programs or services for any reason, all you must do is to send us an email, and we will refund the payment after one business day, no questions asked.
16. Why should I get certified, and why should I choose your certification programs?
- The CRCMP has become one of the most recognized certificates in risk management and compliance. There are CRCMPs in 57 countries. Companies and organizations around the world consider the CRCMP a preferred certificate. You can find more about the demand for CRCMPs at: https://www.risk-compliance-association.com/CRCMP_Jobs_Careers.pdf
- Our training programs are flexible and convenient. Learners can access the course material and take the exam at any time and from any location. This is especially important for those with busy schedules.
- The all-inclusive cost of our programs is very low. There is no additional cost for each program, now or in the future, for any reason.
- If you purchase a second program, you have a $100 discount. The all-inclusive cost for your second (and each additional) program is $197.
- There are 3 exam attempts per year that are included in the cost of each program, so you do not have to spend money again if you fail.
- No recertification is required. Your certificates never expire.
- The marketplace is clearly demanding qualified professionals in risk and compliance management. Certified professionals enjoy industry recognition and have more and better job opportunities. It is important to get certified and to belong to professional associations. You prove that you are somebody who cares, learns, and belongs to a global community of professionals.
- Firms and organizations hire and promote fit and proper professionals who can provide evidence that they are qualified. Employers need assurance that managers and employees have the knowledge and skills needed to mitigate risks and accept responsibility. Supervisors and auditors ask for independent evidence that the process owners are qualified, and that the controls can operate as designed, because the persons responsible for these controls have the necessary knowledge and experience.
- Professionals that gain more skills and qualifications often become eligible for higher-paying roles. Investing in training can have a direct positive impact on a manager's or employee's earning potential.
