Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying risk assessment and analysis techniques to realistic scenarios. Learners will use software tools to build risk models, conduct simulations, and develop comprehensive risk management plans, bridging theory and practice.

Practical Activities

• Risk Assessment Workshop — Learners work in teams to identify and assess risks for a given business case using qualitative and quantitative methods, producing a risk register and heat map. (4h)
• Quantitative Analysis Lab — Using spreadsheet software, learners perform Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis on a project financial model to evaluate potential outcomes. (4h)
• ERM Implementation Simulation — In a role-play exercise, learners act as the risk committee of a company, developing an ERM framework and deciding on risk responses for a strategic initiative. (4h)
• Financial Risk Case Study — Learners analyse a company's exposure to market and credit risks and recommend hedging strategies using derivatives, then present their plan. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
