Management of Risk

M_o_R Practitioner

Management of Risk (M_o_R®) is a guide and qualification, launched by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in response to many government and private sector initiatives to improve organisation wide risk management.

There are two levels of qualification available – the foundation and practitioner certificates. 

Whether delegates are new to Risk Management or just need to understand the M_o_R approach, this course is appropriate and will provide a thorough preparation for the examinations.

DESIGNED FOR

There are no specific pre-requisites for attending the course or taking the examinations.  It is appropriate for managers of any discipline involved at all levels, but attendees should have an understanding of how their business operates.

Delegates are sent a copy of the M_o_R manual prior to the course, pre-reading will dramatically increase the chance of success in the examination.
