About M_o_R®
What is M_o_R®
Management of Risk covers a wide range of topics, including business continuity management, security, programme/project risk management and operational service management. These topics need to be pleaced in the context of an organisational framework for the Management of Risk. Some risk-related topics, such as security are highly specialised and the M_o_R guidance provides only an overview of such aspects. The key areas that are addressed in the M_o_R course are:
-
The requirements of corporate governance; including more focused and open ways of managing risk
-
The need for a 'risk owner' at senior level, for an activity (strategy, programme or project). He or she is supported by risk owners at everyday working levels as appropriate for the activity and risk exposure
-
The need for improved reporting and upward referral of major problems, opportunities and the potential resolution approaches
-
The need for shared understanding of risk management at all levels in the organisation and with partners, combined with consistent treatment of risk
-
Managing project risk in the wider context of programme of change and the business
M_o_R® Exams
Foundation
A multiple-choice paper containing 45 questions to be answered in 45 minutes. This is a closed-book examination.
Practitioner
A case study question to test comprehension of the method, to be answered in 3 hours. Paper based reference material can be used during the exam. Pre-reading material is issued just before the exam, and candidates are given an additional 30 minutes reading time before the paper begins
Eligibility
Candidates must pass the Foundation Exam before the Practitioner Exam, either on the same day or separately. If a candidate has previously passed the Foundation Exam, they qualify to sit the Practitioner Exam without needing to re-sit the Foundation.
If a candidate sits the Foundation Exam only, and passes, they will receive a "Foundation Examination" certificate stating that they have passed. However, if a candidate sits both the Foundation and Practitioner Exam on the same day, and passes both, they will receive a "Practitioner Examination" certificate, but not a "Foundation Examination" one.
