This course is designed to take experienced business executives during an intensive course through all of the developmental stages in Operational Risk Profiling.

The CORE I certification attests to the fact that an individual has successfully completed the course and is competent to apply Operational Risk measurement and management techniques in their business.

The course is case study driven, supported by traditional lectures; this allows delegates to put into practice the theory presented to them and ensures the maximum delegate involvement.
