What happens if I am successful in achieving RRP status?

  • Be entered on to the register of Registered Risk Practitioners

  • Enjoy professional/peer recognition

How do I maintain my RRP status?

Holders of RRP status will be invited annually to complete a renewal form, which summarises relevant CPD activities in the preceding year.  Renewal of RRP status is dependent on evidence of 8 CPD points having been gained in at least two of the categories listed in the renewal form. Successful applicants will receive a fresh Certificate, dated for a further 12 months.
