Exam and credential pathway
The Operational Risk Manager examination follows the course. English is the default examination language.
Passing the exam enables an application to the credential matching the candidate's experience. PECB lists a provisional route without experience and an Operational Risk Manager route requiring the specified professional and operational-risk activity experience, together with application and ethics requirements.
Course completion, examination success, certification application and credential issuance are separate stages; the credential is not issued automatically.
