Yes, this course is eligible for 15 CPDs.

In this course, you prepare you to perform and lead the risk management efforts in a wide range of initiatives, including projects, programs, portfolios and ongoing operations. This broad base of knowledge and skills is practical because of the continuing interaction of all of these elements of organisations. You learn to identify, analyse and prioritise risks and then craft risk response strategies to deliver initiatives that meet your stakeholder expectations. You learn how to apply customisable, industry-robust templates to craft tailored Risk Management Plans and Risk Registers.

This course is valuable for anyone who is involved in or those who may become involved in project, program, portfolio or operations risk analysis and risk management. This course is beneficial to all stakeholders in a wide variety of organisations; large, mid-sized and small. Anyone who has an interest in controlling adverse impacts to a current initiative or ongoing operation or in finding new opportunities to pursue will also benefit from this course. Typical participants include managers who must justify a decision to proceed, modify, or cancel a project or program, portfolio managers, project leaders and project team members, line managers, analysts and system designers.

Many projects, programs and ongoing operations fail to achieve their expected outcomes, and to meet their anticipated schedule and budget performance because the stakeholders did not have a thorough understanding of situations that could cause unanticipated changes. In this course you learn to identify future events that may impede your initiative so that you can identify corrective actions before disaster strikes. Once you determine your alternatives, you can steer the initiative to successful completion. In fact, perceived risks often turn out to be hidden opportunities when managed correctly. This is one of the major benefits of risk management that is often overlooked by those who don't practice it.

You learn tools and techniques that assist with risk identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis of risks, and planning the responses to these risks. The interactive group exercises teach you to apply the project management processes during a case study project that builds throughout the course. You learn to develop and use a Risk Register to control your initiatives.

No! The math that is taught in the class is presented so that anyone will be comfortable with it. We take you step-by-step through the examples so that you can return to your project and immediately apply the knowledge.
