"What impressed me most about the ISO 31000 Risk Management course was how it to leverage risk as a tool for creating value. The instruction was clear, engaging, and full of practical examples, making complex frameworks easy to apply. I now understand how effective risk management can give our organisation a competitive edge, whether by reducing exposure, improving decision-making, or even being first to market with new opportunities. This course has not only strengthened my professional skillset but has also helped me demonstrate to senior management how structured risk management adds measurable value to the business. Great course, highly recommend. "

What is the ISO 31000 risk management process?

▾
The ISO 31000 approach establishes the organisation's scope, context and criteria before identifying, analysing and evaluating risks. Risks can then be treated and continually monitored and reviewed, supported by communication, consultation, recording and reporting.

What will I learn on the ISO 31000 Risk Management Course?

You will learn how to apply the principles and framework of ISO 31000, identify and assess risks, evaluate their significance, select appropriate risk treatments, establish risk ownership and monitor risk over time.

▾
Yes. Learners receive an implementation handbook containing practical risk management resources and templates designed to help translate the principles covered in the course into workplace practice.

What is an ISO 31000 risk matrix?

▾
A risk matrix is a practical tool used to support risk assessment by comparing factors such as likelihood and consequence. It can help organisations prioritise risks and determine which risks require further treatment or escalation.

Do I receive practical risk management templates?

▾
Yes. The course includes an implementation handbook and practical tools to support risk identification, assessment, recording, treatment and monitoring. These resources are designed to help learners apply their training rather than simply understand risk management theory.

Is ISO 31000 a certifiable standard?

▾
ISO 31000 provides risk management guidelines and is not an organisational certification standard in the same way as standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 27001. Completing this Certified CPD course demonstrates that you have undertaken professional training in ISO 31000 risk management and successfully completed the course requirements.

Do I receive a certificate after completing the course?

▾
Yes. Successful learners receive a verifiable CPD certificate confirming completion of the ISO 31000 Risk Management Course.

Can I study ISO 31000 risk management online?

Who should take an ISO 31000 risk management course?

▾
The course is suitable for risk managers, project managers, health and safety professionals, compliance teams, auditors, quality professionals, security professionals, senior managers, consultants and anyone responsible for identifying or managing organisational risk.

Can ISO 31000 be used for project risk management?

▾
Yes. ISO 31000's principles and risk management process can be applied to projects as well as strategic, operational, financial, security, health and safety, supply-chain and other organisational risks.

What is the difference between ISO 31000 and enterprise risk management?

▾
Enterprise risk management coordinates risk management across an organisation and its strategic objectives. ISO 31000 provides principles, a framework and a process that organisations can use to establish or strengthen that broader approach to managing risk.
