Setting the standard foroperational resilience
across the Asia‑Pacific.
The independent professional body raising the standard of operational resilience practice across Asia-Pacific — and, through the practitioners we certify, the resilience of the region itself. Three credentials, one regional benchmark, awarded on demonstrated capability.
Operational resilience is the discipline that keeps the region's critical services running when things go wrong. PRI exists to set the standard for the practitioners who do that work.
Learn. Demonstrate. Be recognised.
PRI separates learning from recognition. The Operational Resilience Course prepares people entering, refreshing or upskilling in the discipline. Credentials are awarded separately, on demonstrated capability against the PRI competency framework.
Courses prepare. Credentials recognise demonstrated capability.
