Risk Management

It is for risk owners and management system practitioners: managers, process owners and team members who identify, assess or treat risk, or who discuss risk decisions in their organisation. It suits people working with any ISO management system, as well as anyone who wants a structured, consistent way of talking about and managing risk.

The course follows the risk management process from identification to treatment, using ISO 31000:2018 as the foundation for a consistent approach. Learners understand the stages of the process, connect risk identification and assessment to treatment decisions, and learn to use a consistent approach when discussing and managing risk with colleagues and management.

No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed Risk Management and reached the pass mark in its final exam. It is not certification of an organisation to any standard, and Sterling does not certify organisations. The certificate does not certify an organisation's risk management or its management system.

The course uses ISO 31000:2018, the international guidance standard on risk management, as the foundation for a consistent approach. It follows the risk management process from identification through assessment to treatment, so that learners can apply the same structured thinking to risks in quality, information security, health and safety or any other management system.
