The Institute for Supply Chain Risk (ISCR) defines the professional benchmarks for resilience, security, and continuity. Our certification programs validate the specialized competence required to navigate complex global disruption.
A structured progression from foundational awareness to executive-level governance.

Executive recognition for significant contributions to the Body of Knowledge and 10+ years of leadership.
Rigorous standards for candidate evaluation and certification integrity.
Candidates must demonstrate a combination of formal education and verified professional experience. The SCR-P level requires a minimum of 3,000 hours of professional practice within the last five years, documented through our peer-verification portal.
Examinations are delivered via secure, proctored centers globally. The SCR-P exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions and 3 scenario-based simulations designed to test practical application of risk mitigation strategies.
To maintain the value of ISCR credentials, we employ advanced psychometric analysis to detect irregular testing patterns. All candidates must pass a background verification check prior to final certification award.
ISCR is committed to providing equitable testing environments. Candidates with documented disabilities may request reasonable accommodations during the application process, including extended time or specialized equipment.
