Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Courses  

 

Alarm in association with Maven Training is providing Management of Risk (M_o_R®) accredited courses for Foundation and Practitioner levels.

 

What is M_O_R®?

M_O_R® is part of a suite of Best Practice Guidance publications published by the UK Government's Office of Government Commerce (OGC), which is the basis for various accreditation and qualification schemes.

 

M_o_R® covers a wide range of topics, including strategic, programme / project risk management and operational service risk management as well as business continuity management, security and health and safety. These topics are placed in the context of an organisational framework for the management of risk.

 

Working with Maven Training, Alarm has ensured that the course is tailored to meet the needs of practitioners in the public sector. In addition Maven Training provide pre-course support material through their own website which contributes to the above average pass rate for this qualification.

Who is it for?

The accredited course is aimed at risk practitioners who may be working at corporate, programme, project or operational levels within the organisation and who need an in-depth knowledge of the risk process. In other words, the course is aimed at all staff with responsibility for managing risk.

 

The course is of equal value to both experienced and relatively new risk professionals as well as individuals who may have a key role in helping to manage programme / project risk.

 

Many Alarm members have already been successful in passing the Practitioner Certificate and have found the qualification to be of real value in the workplace:

 

"The course was very challenging but useful. I picked up some new ideas that I have implemented in the workplace", Richard Feltham, Corporate Governance and Risk Manager, Kent & Medway Towns Fire Authority

 

"I attended this course at the start of my career in Risk, and it certainly proved to be an intensive week. The course, through its useful and comprehensive handbook, genuinely covers all the areas necessary for a full understanding of Risk Management... I found the practical examples supporting the theory really made my understanding clearer, and thought the course managed to stick to the most important areas.... By the end of the week, I was looking forward to taking the theory I had learnt and applying it to ‘real life’ back at work", Matt Powell, Corporate Risk Officer, London Borough of Hackney.

 

What is involved?

M_o_R® is intensive and challenging but there is a lot of support provided to delegates both before and during the course. Maven Training have a proven track record in delivering M_o_R® and have a very high pass rate for their courses. Preparation is the key - there will be pre-work and homework during the course but once signed up you will receive access to a dedicated microsite containing documents, guidance, background reading as well as quizzes and the ability to make contact with the trainer.
