International Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
Overall global student (by average pass mark for both Module 1: Principles of Risk and Risk Management and Module 2: Practices of Risk Management):
Samuel Jefferson, IRMCert, Senior Governance Advisor, Close Brothers Group Plc UK.
He said:
“The IRM’s International Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management provides a fantastic foundation in the principles and practice of risk management. One of the best aspects of the course, for me, is that all the content is presented in a business context; it’s clear that the real-world application of principles and concepts was a key consideration when compiling the course content. This made the content really engaging and I found the case studies and examples incredibly interesting.
After completing my exams, I feel like I immediately have a better understanding of how risk management works in my organisation, and this has allowed me to approach my work in a more informed way. I’d recommend that any risk professional, or aspiring risk profession, consider studying for the IRM Certificate”.
