Getting the balance right

Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management (PCIRM) - What to expect

5 Day Residential Course

In line with the requirements of BCS Professional Certifications (Previously ISEB), 34 hours of information risk management training (including a three hour exam on the final afternoon) are provided by URM during the 5 days of the course.

The Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management (PCIRM) training course contains a significant proportion of practical hands-on exercises designed to build on the taught component of the module and to encourage debate and sharing of knowledge and experience between delegates. URM trainers are all highly experienced risk management specialists who call upon their practical knowledge to bring a real-world perspective to the classroom.

Course Material

Delegates who attend URM's PCIRM training course will receive a training pack containing copies of all course slides and accompanying support notes. The slides and notes have been approved by BCS Professional Certifications and act both as a useful revision tool for the examination and a reference library after the course. The training pack will also include a full set of practical exercises which delegates will complete through the week's course.

Examination

The PCIRM examination is a three hour paper and comprises two sections. The first section contains ten multi-choice questions and six short answer questions. The second section involves answering three scenario based questions. The examination takes place on the final afternoon of the course. Delegates need to achieve a pass mark of 65% overall and in section one too to gain the qualification.

Training Venue

Dedicated residential training centres in Bedfordshire and Berkshire are used for all information security, business continuity and information risk management training courses. URM believes that these types of venue provide the ideal distraction-free environment for an intensive and stimulating learning experience. Ideas and thoughts can be shared, not only with course trainers, but with other like-minded risk management professionals during classroom time and outside hours whilst socialising in relaxed surroundings.
