The PRI pathway has three stages. ARO and CRO are three-day live virtual courses with proctored exams. SCRO is conferred directly by the PRI Board on the strength of a leader's record — there is no curriculum and no exam.
The taught entry credential.
Six modules covering the practical mechanics of operational resilience — gathering the data, running a BIA, mapping dependencies, keeping an incident log, and writing up what happened.
The examined professional credential.
Eight modules on multi-jurisdictional compliance, quantitative tolerances, nth-party concentration mapping, and severe-but-plausible scenario design. Three years of verified practitioner experience required.
An appointment of the PRI Board.
No coursework, no examination. Conferred on senior leaders with a decade of board-level accountability for resilience, judged on portfolio, references, and a formal panel.
PRI uses a three-tier banding model so the same standard is accessible from high-income financial hubs and the offshore Global Capability Centre corridors. All fees in AUD.

ARO and CRO are three-day live virtual courses with proctored exams — 90 minutes for ARO, 150 minutes of case study for CRO. SCRO is an appointment of the PRI Board, with no academic component. Every credential carries a 20-hour annual CPD requirement. The standard is the same across the region.
