certification training

Would you like to compare your own views and working methods with the international guidelines for risk management? And do you also want to be able to demonstrate that you master the theory? Then this intensive three-day training is a very good choice for you. The training leads to the globally recognized certification ISO 31000 Foundations Level - CRMF® Certificate of the Global Network for Independent Certification (gn-ic.org) upon successful completion of the exam. You'll find the registration form at the bottom of this page.

 training content

The ISO 31000 standard defines 'risk' as the effect of uncertainty on objectives. This does not only concern threats, but also opportunities that influence the realization of those objectives. The document provides a conceptual framework for managing risk.

To effectively embed the management of opportunities and threats in the organization, those involved need a common language. ISO 31000 provides generally accepted terms and definitions. It also provides a common framework for dealing with the uncertain future in a focused manner. The guidelines act as an umbrella above the risk-based standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and ISO 22000. This makes these guidelines very valuable when dealing with uncertainty in an integrated way.

result of the training

After this training you'll know what the ISO 31000 Risk Management guidelines for sound risk management entail. You'll learn to interpret these guidelines and integrate them into the existing management system. In this way you are able to get started in a structured way with the implementation and optimization of dealing with opportunities and threats within your organization.
