Diploma in Retirement Provision - The Pensions Management Institute

The PMI is currently undergoing website updates, please be aware that you may encounter brief periods of downtime during this time.

This course is part of the following PMI Pathways...

Benefits

This qualification rewards and acknowledges the completion of core pension technical units that form part of the Advanced Diploma in Retirement Provision. This can be taken as a standalone qualification or as part of the Advanced Diploma.

Please note that the ADRP qualification will cease to exist in it's current format from April 2028 meaning all existing or new learners would only have five years to complete this qualification from 2023.

We encourage learners to consider the Retirement Provision Pathway ,which is very similar to the units that encompass the ADRP qualification. The level of the qualification and member benefits remains the same as the ADRP qualification . Learners can achieve the APMI membership upon successful completion of this pathway.

Who is this course for?

Senior pension scheme administrators working on DB or DC pension schemes

Assessment method

As of Spring 2023, all units that come under the DRP qualification will be assessed via short answer questions only. The multiple choice questions (MCQ) have been removed and will no longer form part of the question paper. Please refer to the DRP specification under 'useful resources' for further information regarding how the exams will be assessed.

Study time

This qualification comprises six units, of which five must be passed in order to complete the qualification. There are four core units plus a choice of specialist optional units (DB or DC).
