Welcome to the Risk Management course. 
This online course will enable you to define risk as either a threat or an opportunity. We'll show you that everyone in an organisation is responsible for risk management (though roles and responsibilities may vary), and help to familiarise you with the 9 categories of risk. 

Please note: this course was designed for the private sector. While there are lessons that are applicable to this sector, additional training will be required to understand the specific nature of risk in a humanitarian setting.
