The Certificate in Risk Governance
® is awarded to those who have completed
The Board Members' Course on Risk® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.
“Participating in the Certificate in Risk Governance
® program has been a transformative experience in my risk management career,” said Ms. Kanabahita. “The training has reframed my view of risk as a potential loss to considering risk management as a positive risk-taking tool for achieving goals. The comprehensive curriculum and insights from exceptional risk experts and the Middle East/Africa guided study cohort members have equipped me with the essential skills to ask the right questions about confident risk-taking in today's dynamic environment. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their risk governance capabilities and drive effective risk management strategies,” she continued.
The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty. Candidates may enroll in the Certificate in Risk Governance
