THE BIG PICTURE
About this course
The Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Officer (CRIO) Certification recognises competence in planning and delivering climate-resilient infrastructure. It is awarded by APMG International and draws on the CRIO Handbook developed by the Global Center on Adaptation with partner organisations. Across three days, participants work through the CRIO knowledge areas with guided walkthroughs, case-based exercises, and peer discussion. You will assess climate hazards, identify and prioritise adaptation options, integrate resilience into PPP project appraisal, procurement and contracts, and plan monitoring and adaptive management. Daily exam-style questions and a timed mock exam are included. The certification is obtained by passing the CRIO exam administered by APMG International. Candidates may self-study using the CRIO Handbook or prepare via training and then book the exam directly with APMG. Refer to APMG’s candidate guidance for current exam arrangements. APMG International owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
