Risk Management Certifications (M_o_R) - Foundation

The M_o_R® certification scheme has been developed to offer two levels of certification, Foundation and Practitioner. AXELOS has accredited a number of Examination Institutes (EIs) who then accredit a network of Accredited Training Organizations (ATOs), including their trainers and course material. The ATOs and accredited trainers offer M_o_R training courses and examinations.

Purpose of the Foundation Certification

The purpose of the Foundation certification is to confirm that a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding to contribute to the identification, assessment and control of risks across any organizational perspective. Their understanding will include the four elements of the M_o_R framework and how these support corporate governance.

The Foundation certification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner certification.
