Hello all. I want to obtain PMI-RMP certification and I would like to know..... For those who have both PMP and PMI-RMP certifications, do you think the PMI-RMP exam is easier than RMP or, on the contrary, do you think it is more difficult?
Thank you in advance for your comments.

PMI- RMP is a specific exam, but you require to know the content of PM BOOK.
PMP include more information because you have to know all chapters.
Related to the PMBook risk chapter, the PMBook provide the basis and the risk cycle, but the RMP Exam is focus in risk management and you must to know the PMBook (especiallly comunications) and has an specific document additional to PMBOOK

RMP is an specialized certificate, a person with PMPCertificate no necessary mean that he know about project risk management. Requirements to apply to PMI-RMP certificate is at least 3 years in risk mangement dedicated.
Both certificates are usefull but are different roles.

Of course! I am a certified PMP, don't worry about that.

I am asking because I know people that say PMP is more difficult than RMP and others that say that PMP is easier. And they have both certificates.
That´s the only reason for my question.

Thank you very much.

I consider the PMP exam complex, no difficult, because it has a lot of information to study and the source of information is teh PMBOOK. For me, RMP exam is more especialized, difficult and less complex, the questions requiere analysis and knowledge of standard of risk management, PMBOOK and other documents differents to standar and PMBOOK, and its difficult find others RMP's to discusse this theme and receive orientation..
