Be the Risk Professional of the 21st Century by joining a dynamic learning path
Your path to continuous professional growth
The future of work is the future of lifelong learning
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 2025
- Participate in online professional development activities (such as webinars)
Our accredited activities
