NEBOSH and International Institute of Risk & Safety Management (IIRSM) have partnered to develop the new NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk
Based around the global risk management standard, ISO 31000, this qualification provides a comprehensive overview of risk. Theory is backed up by real-life, case study practical applications so that learners gain a wide understanding of organisational risk management, learning how to identify, manage and communicate risk.
Risk management is transferable to any industry, profession, organisation or country. By working together, NEBOSH and IIRSM have combined their expertise in education and risk to deliver a qualification that broadens learners thinking beyond their own discipline, enabling them to understand the important relationship between risk management and all business functions. More than 60 people took part in a pilot of the qualification in 2021. Pilot participants included representatives from Fujitsu, Netflix, Kier Highways, and Allianz.
NEBOSH director of Learning and Assessment, David Towlson said, “Successful organisations know how to manage risk well. And not just at Board level but through all functions and levels of the business. The NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk gives you the skills and confidence, no matter where you work, to apply business risk management principles within day-to-day operations.”
NEBOSH IIRSM Certificate in Managing Risk is initially available to study online only via a selection of NEBOSH’s global learning partners.
