At Brokerslink, we believe risk management is a profession that requires ongoing development, shared standards, and trusted recognition across Europe. That is why we are proud to support the FERMA rimap® programme through our partnership with FERMA.
Rimap® is the only European certification created by risk managers for risk managers. It provides independent recognition of professional competence and experience and is endorsed by FERMA’s 23 national associations. It also supports continuous development through CPD activities, helping risk professionals stay current in a fast-moving risk environment.
 

Brokerslink and FERMA

The programme is the result of our partnership with FERMA and reflects our shared goal of raising standards and strengthening risk management expertise across the industry.

Last year, we delivered our first rimap® training session in Budapest, as part of the Europe Meeting (now renamed the Brokerslink Europe Forum). The session brought together risk professionals from across our network and set a strong foundation for future learning.

Building on that momentum, we will host the next FERMA rimap® training session in Porto during the Brokerslink Europe Forum in March. This is a great opportunity for risk professionals to take the next step in their careers and join a recognised European community of certified practitioners.
 

What participants gain

Rimap® certification offers more than a title. It signals to clients and partners that a risk professional has verified competence and follows a structured approach to managing risk. It also connects professionals to a wider network of peers and provides a continuous development pathway that keeps skills relevant and up to date.

A success story

Nicola Capparelli, Senior Risk Engineering Consultant at AUGUSTAS Risk Services, who attended the Budapest session last year and has since achieved rimap® certification, shared his experience:

“The FERMA rimap® course has been not only an opportunity to refine my knowledge of daily risk management topics, but also a chance to explore areas beyond my professional scope of work.

Being a risk professional in today’s ever-changing environment also means being able to identify, understand and leverage the synergies that connect the many areas composing the broader risk management framework.

Thanks to the extensive experience of the lecturers and the valuable guidance of the assistants, both the online and in person sessions - enriched with gamification activities and mock tests - were highly engaging and practical.

The open badge obtained with the certification is now a constant addition to my email signature.

I joined this programme as an employee of Augustas, thanks to my employer’s affiliation with Brokerslink and to Brokerslink’s partnership with FERMA in organising this initiative. I’m proud to be part of an ecosystem that invests so much in risk management education, fostering collaboration, learning, and standards shared by different professionals, and ultimately empowering risk management to turn into a collective discipline across Brokerslink’s community.

Overall, the FERMA rimap® course has been a valuable step in my professional growth, offering broader perspectives and tools to provide added value through an integrated risk management approach.”
