ARM Exam Prep
Built for The Institutes' ARM (Associate in Risk Management) designation — the lifetime, no-renewal-required credential insurance and risk professionals earn across three courses: Mastering Risk Management Techniques, Managing Risk With Emerging Technology, and Implementing Risk Management Strategies. Grounded in COSO ERM, ISO 31000, and standard risk-financing concepts.
Written against The Institutes ARM (2026 course update). The Institutes retired the original ARM 400/401/402 course material — students already enrolled have until September 15, 2026 to test on it. This prep is built on the CURRENT replacement courses (Mastering Risk Management Techniques, Managing Risk With Emerging Technology, Implementing Risk Management Strategies), verified live against the program page.
The 3 Required Courses
The real ARM designation is earned by passing three SEPARATE 50-question, 65-minute exams — one per course, over 6-9 months — not one combined sitting. Our full sim strings all three courses together (145 questions) so you can gauge overall readiness in one session; 70% here is a study benchmark, not an official pass mark (The Institutes does not publish one).
Your first try on this exam adds a flat +25. Harder credentials pay more — the full ladder runs Foundation → Technician → Professional → Flagship.
Associate in Risk Management (ARM)
The Institutes' risk management designation for risk managers, insurance and EHS professionals: three courses (ARM 400 techniques, ARM 401 emerging technology, ARM 402 strategies) plus the free Ethics 311 module, each course with its own 50-question exam. The current curriculum launched in July 2026; the previous course materials had a last test date of September 15, 2026. No prerequisites and no renewal once earned.
