Real support for all levels

I’m working toward my PMP®.

Need the required 35 hours and a clear path to passing the exam? Get structured training and guidance to move forward with confidence.

I’m working toward my RMP®.

Ready to go deeper into project risk and pursue the PMI-RMP® certification? Build the expertise to identify, analyze, and lead risk management on complex projects.

Courses shouldn’t leave you more stressed & confused.

44Risk PM was built on a simple idea: people learn best when they’re supported. That’s why we keeps classes small, stays accessible to students, and focuses on teaching, coaching, and mentoring, not just delivering content and leaving you to figure it out.

Drawing on decades of military and civilian project management experience, the goal isn’t just helping you pass an exam. It’s helping you think clearly about risk, lead projects with confidence, and grow into the kind of project leader teams trust.

“I have taken other PMP courses and this was by far the most beneficial.”

“Forty-Four Risk PM takes each course one step further by being present and available for follow up questions, support through the PMI application process, and as a mentor whenever needed.”

“Russell has the ability to break down complex issues, come up with creative solutions, and lead a team to maximum impacts.”

“This course was fantastic and instantly applicable.”

Nice to meet you, I’m Russ Parker.

PMP®, PMI-ACP®, PMI-RMP®, CSM®, LSSBB.

My mission is to teach, coach, and mentor aspiring, new, and experienced project managers, project risk managers, and project leaders.

Most people focus only on teaching you to pass an exam. I teach you to apply this stuff in the real world—where stakeholders change their minds, timelines get crushed, and risks show up uninvited.

I spent 20 years in the Marines planning missions where poor risk management had real consequences. Now I teach project managers how to think like that.
