Certification is a two-part process: verification of knowledge and confirmation of experience. This includes:
- The receipt of a passing examination grade to verify a candidate's knowledge of the subject matter
- An application which may be required to confirm the experience needed for a DRI International certification. This will be reviewed by the Commission.

Upgrading An Existing DRI Certification
No Examination Re-Take Required
If you hold a current DRI International certification in good standing, you do not need to re-take an examination to upgrade your certification to the next level whether it’s ABCP to CBCP/CFCP, ACRP to CCRP (Cyber Resilience), ARMP to CRMP (Risk Management), APSCP to CPSCP (Public Sector Continuity), or AHPCP to CHPCP (Healthcare Continuity).
Note: If you wish to apply for the Audit certifications (CBCA/CBCLA), you must take and receive a passing score on the Audit Examination. If you wish to apply for the highest MBCP level certification, you must take and receive a passing score on the Master’s Case Study Examination.
Retired (Ret.) Status
Retirement status provides a means for professionals to maintain certification for periods of time when they are not working directly in the field or if they are retiring from the industry. There are many excellent reasons for retiring your certification, but letting it lapse is always a mistake.
