Management of Risk Foundation
Introduction

Management of Risk (M_o_R®) is a guide and qualification, launched by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in response to many government and private sector initiatives to improve organisation wide risk management.

The APM Group (APMG) has established a syllabus, examination and qualification scheme aligned to the M_o_R® guidance. As a result there are now two levels of qualification available - the Foundation and Practitioner certificates.

Steria’s Management of Risk course conforms to the syllabus set down by APMG for delegates wishing to gain the M_o_R® foundation and practitioner certificates. Whether delegates are new to Risk Management or just need to understand the M_o_R® approach, this course is appropriate and will provide a thorough preparation for the examinations.

Who will benefit?
The course will benefit all managers who have some responsibility for the effective management of risk within their organisation.

It is particularly aimed at:

- Programme managers who need to develop structured approaches to management of risk on major change programmes 
- Project managers wishing to manage project risk more effectively
