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.

Website
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?

lot of support provided to delegates both before and during the
