Managing Risk And Crisis (Rc05)

The one-day Managing Risk and Crisis professional development certificated course gives you the tools to predict issues and manage risks, with a step-by-step guide on how to handle difficult situations during a crisis. The course will be led and delivered in a practical and hands on way, by leading risk and crisis professionals. The emphasis of the course is how to prepare for the unexpected.

There is a focus on improving your understanding of risk management and understanding of how to prepare a risk assessment of your organisation, by correctly assessing and quantifying threat. You will learn how to minimise risk by reviewing current issues, trends and risk situations.
